walking gingerly
through pigeons, trying not to
spur applauding wings
Chicago
12/20/20: December Overcast
once again
a shrouded sky—living
inside linen
12/10/20: Judging Books by Covers
pigeons seem to find
this abandoned L platform
fine
12/3/20: Watching Dusk Shift from West-Facing Windows
clocks of sunlight
and shadow striking at
severe angles
11/17/20: Teleonomy
“Sure,” she said,
“but, these days, isn’t it all
after the fact?”
10/28/20: First Winter Flâneur
collar tipped up,
hiding from notice—marrow
hot heart of bone
10/15/20: Correlation Versus Causation
two airplanes—
the space between them too wide
to make a line
9/11/20: Rain All Day
poets might connect
today’s weather with weeping
but whose tears are these?
8/27/20: Update
the hottest day—
so far—rages on like
blasting static
8/16/20: Let’s Talk
sultry—leaves
weighed by sun—and cicadas
bay relentlessly
haiku streak
