January
iii.
I tend to evening chores
tomorrow’s worries television news
lend me your apron
said the wind there is still time
to drift and dust and
polish smooth
in falling
we rise
said the moon
filter out what’s potable
replace with
chemical equations
partake when good and ready
dredge dam redirect and
levy I could tell you stories
said the river
ripples only if
you see them echoes only
if you hear
