All Along
past the cloud
beyond the ray
the dip of the day
what the wake left
a footprint in the dirt
handprint on the glass
red on the rim
a bird’s wing
somebody’s stuff
a frosted mug
a copper kettle
the page unturned
the script at crawl
where’s the wind
is it in the east
where the gardenias grow
he’s still pulling up the hose
carrying it around
is it the break of day
already
where did the porch swing
come from
what happened to the trike
the horn
there’s no buggy left to push
simplifies the choice
and it’s raining
or was
the caterpillar went cocooning
a derby horse
at down
the laces need tying
a double knot
segments in an orange
seeds in the core
the pit
the peel
who’s at the door
did that song get played
who heard it
was it beautiful
the arrangement
field formation
who looks at the score
it’s the run game
what you endure
in the allotment
upgrade
the status
we were meant to wonder
to look out
past the cloud
the ray
