Then none (Day 1320)

Outside, the eaves shed fat drops of water 

which landed below with a metallic clink 

that brought caves to mind. A candle 

flickered on the mantel, where seven photos 

were arranged in tiny frames. She chose one 

and studied it briefly, as if looking for answers, 

then replaced it and gazed out the window. 


two blossoms, then one

wind tugs at rain-slicked branches

one blossom, then none
