Winter
Your Heart is an Empty Church
August in Georgia is a Pigeon-Pale Field Blooming
August 31, 2016
The Ungardening
Fields grow numb with winter.
Through pines, the throaty pink
hour of evening staggers,
like a sleepy child heavy on her feet.
Need I remind you?
All that's still once fell.
In the garden, a maple unwrites
scarlet letters to dusk.
Forget-me-nots frost
and fall to the hard ground.
Birds fly in a V to somewhere warmer.
Here's the bedroom: empty chest
of drawers, raw mattress,
flowers wilt on the windowsill.
Like January,
you came and went,
benumbing the earth,
ungardening all I planted.
