a lot to take in all the sounds that hover between dusk and dawn sirens & red lights thru the bedroom window cicadas pause & resume /sb dogwoods with a changed tone of voice hidden in the bark the old scars of her initials /sb in transition pampas grass where praying mantises once hung the color of straw now her thoughts weave themselves into my painting /sb huddled in dust cukes wait on rain from 'hanna' once again the indigo in the clouds break their promise /sb garden tools in the truck bed in case they've energy to be used the migrants drink their beer & watch her slowly cross the cotton field /sb
