There is no big mystery.

I’m adjusting to minimum wage,

Green, but cold, gloves, scarf.

And bare feet—there is


No big mystery, Four-Eyes.


The cardinals flip as they

Climb an invasive vine,

Grazing on the stuff in the high neck

Of a tree.


It is as if, this evening, the dead are rising

From their graves, blood first.
