the Friends of Lorine Niedecker.
day moon—
the prize pumpkin
lifted to the pickup
first cold
night—
the
farmhouse linoleum
worn at
the sink
a
love stamp
on
the severance cheque—
cold
rain
scrambling
too many eggs
for breakfast
the
widow
snow
day—
your
apple compote
bubbling
on the stove
pet
cemetery—
the
frozen earth
so
hard to dig
job
interview—
the
snow shovel
lifted
from its hook
