Poetry
DECEMBER 2015
Outlier
in the orchard
among half naked trees
I squat among mounds of fallen fruit
their browning death
hastened by
a dilatory sun.
their waxwing perched above
makes no effort to speak
there is nothing the trees haven't already heard,
everything I touch here is dying
as is the day.
