forget
the balm of barometric exuberance.
this night
no longer young, dissipates.

recall
the dewy welcome of sun-quaffed green.
yesterdays
revive severed umbilical dreams.

peruse
the present with fleeting acumen.
today
ceases yet emerges again tomorrow.

ignite
the kindling of autumnal reticence.
...

blunt-edged butter knives
scrape across brittle landscapes
on freshly overtoasted slices of multigrain loaves

each lumpy mound of spreadable dairy
refuses to swathe evenly, amicably

momentary paralysis plagues
this expedition many times over
without consolation or apology
