Cupboard Weather: Dusty Panes
In the window the reflection of windows and an artist's broom
that reminds me of sweeping the driest patch of butter chamisa's
withered stars, and blue flecks of screen door sloughing off
slapping hard against its crumbling frame from the shrinking
with no rain on this particular path as I look both ways
to cross the street against the warm day of dusty wind and
the way the world makes a window of everything.

Cupboard Weather: anything that moves
Sound emanating from
anything that moves.
Dog brushing against
chamisa. Girl on a bench
running one saw's teeth
against the other. The
"sound of sunshine
coming down" sings
Michael, and I hear it
if I but stand still.

Cupboard Weather: First Days of Fall: Waiting
I'm here
waiting…
waiting for the first day of Autumn
waiting for rain
waiting to turn the page
waiting for the post
waiting for Prince Charming
waiting to die
waiting for the curtain
waiting for the bus
waiting for dinner
waiting to order
waiting for the camera
waiting for the water to break
waiting for the Messiah
waiting
waiting…

Activists In Autumn Warmth
![]() |
| bottom edge of art by Erin Currier |
In the study my husband
watches Tina Turner in
video on the computer’s
flat screen and I wonder where
my own low limbo, sexual mojo
has gone. No longer
this limber, I sit instead
out of doors alone, wearing
no underwear and a grey t-shirt
embossed with a civil rights
activist and his wife. The wind
sweeps softly but doesn’t touch
the cobwebs at the foot of these
wrapped metal chairs. The holly plant
is thinning and needs water
where the dog has eaten away
at its roots.
