how will you give yours?
peaceful spring night: the
mouse gives itself to the jaws
of the dancing cat.
late spring full moon. my
neighbor’s cough lands on my hand:
a single raindrop
quiet moonlit night:
the cat, wasting no time, stalks
the moon’s reflection
the sense that, in the midst of what you sense,
heart and all, the main event
eludes you. then, a bunch of friends race by
on bikes, in midnight rain.
