Hot August Politics
the sun has been goingdown for hours
highlights dark
shadows
the breeze near
the lake
is aware &
borrowing things
most notably space & time
& in the canyon she wears a mask
the shed is the clincher
grey, nice, big
holds everything
that isn’t in the trailer
sunflowers attempting on the side
w/small lavender
will they grow or
will it be like the people in the other 5th wheel said
the water kills everything but grass
