Monday

rain pools on the walkway

briefly the empty expanse of street fills

a car, a car, zooming left, racing right

empty street, neighbors' house

flat slate sky, tall brown treetrunks

handful of camo-red leaves shivering

still but the rain

still but the seldom cars

still but the dripping

limestone bench in the drizzle

witnesses: empty street, neighbors' houses

occasional cars

deep green daffodil stalks pushing

witness: empty street, neighbors' houses

occasional cars

zoom

sit

tremble
