"[wind wings.]"
2007

the whirring of sewing machines
water wheels
water lapping at the stones
forgotten there
under the beaches on the bench
by former students
readers
birds seeking the sun

going south
with the weather
with the remainder - see it -
of orange sunsets
crystal sidewalk?
shiny nights remembered

the whirring of clockwork - keep this pace -
fast paced words
settle in my throat
one degree outside
the last days of summer
