     fresh straw
          forked into the corner

the points still blunt
from rainbow drawings

about to snow . . .
a white hawk
circles a dark sky

Robert Mainone

 

funeral lunch
a faint taste of dirt
still on the radish

snow drifts
even with his cane
her grave is too far

     our kids interrupt
          our vasectomy talk
