LAST SPRING EDGE-RUN BREATH


STEEPED IN BREWING LEAVES

Too hot for baseball
Too hot for snow mountain skis
What to do, just what

Stashed low out of sun
One more hour before last game
Six innings of ball

*

CLOSING DOWN

Blistered lips word parched
Tethered twisting in mare's nest
Sun mountain descent

How notebook returns
harvesting May emptiness
Nothing doing trade

Nothing to weigh
Late May word branch breeze
Summer grass blade chew
