the heat wave rolling
the heat wave rolling
into town knocks out our ACs,
the hummingbird still
visits, doing aerial
acrobatics, not sweating

thirty-odd minutes
thirty-odd minutes
after midnight, the neighbors
launched half-a-dozen
fireworks, determined to
light the way for santa’s sleigh

six shops deep into
six shops deep into
knick-knack hell, we could smell the
sea still beckoning –
when you say Savannah, i
am a bull in a china shop

when the forecast hits
when the forecast hits
possibly snow,
you and i always
return to the Great Blizzard
of Ninety-Three, how
we made do with what we had –
two digging shovels with the
pointed ends, some southern
summer gardening
gloves, and
sinks and tubs stopped
up with hot water
for the tender
soaking in between

six years, 2,900 job
six years, 2,900 job

of steel and silence,
faceless men pushing
papers, licking
their index fingers

the things i saw
the things i saw
on the way
to you –
the moon facing
off the rising
sun in a
gunslinging
moment, lightning
draws; a flock of
eighth notes sitting
on the D- and F-
lines, the plumpest
glissandi;
a geometry
of light
deciphering a
georgia pine,
a double
fugue revealing
its counterpoint
