earth note 589


heat and wind can't decide
     shimmering
how it'll get through the day
maybe just give up and rain
i watch the leaves for direction
volatile
erratic
bearing down on the avenue
the cars have become manic
     and now a police car
     gunning it
     lights flashing

there's a robin who hangs around
most every day
on the roof gutter
never much to say
skittish before
taking off
dodging just over the box truck

not a good day to move
