the young widow
carefully adjusts her veil--
white oleander
childhood home-
my voice changes
from room to room
dawn . . .
a white butterfly floats
through the stillness
rose petals cover
the garden bench
suddenly rain . . .
a patch of blue
daddy long-legs circles
the globe
dead grass--
a cow stands in the shadow
of another cow
scattered stars . . .
your angry words lost
to the withering wind
light rain--
yellow roses climb
the wooden ladder
