WINTER SQUASH

 

WINTER SQUASH

         --for Marty

Every night in the oven,

sweet meat, moistened seeds

split, spooned, buttered,

and dripping with honey.

Late October, and rain.

Leaf fall and cascading silence.

The sharp blade slicing

through all the bullshit.

We’re doing just fine

in our resistance.
