Mastodawn

yet another draft
the bard shapes filigree
from words of putty

— § —

the urban gardener
sows patches and rows
for a crazy quilt of greenery

— § —

the husky gentles
a yowling child, allows rough pats
on furry rump

rush to beat the truck
dawn robbers of detritus
balaclava'd saints

— § —

a freed chunk of ice
scuds along the cleared driveway
to score a field goal

— § —

cutting turnip greens
a blur of red-orange and black
my fellow gardener
