ALONE WITH THE TERRIBLE UNIVERSE
My shadow
attacks
the cedar
lattice
that surrounds
the patio.
Lamplight
filtered through thick September maples
splotches
the muscular cedar boards.
A dog,
a small brown and white
dog barks
across a dark sea
of crickets
all hunched together
like millions of glistening coquina shells
on a black shore.
