umbral
ovenbird Find the doubled darkness
where two shadows meet.
See.
Love is not light,
but the deepest shade.

In the summer my edges
curl like a heat-blighted hosta,
sun-singed and crumbling.

On the sidewalk: cepaea_nemoralis. I tap your shell twice so you’ll sever your grip on the sidewalk. I don’t want to harm you with all my good intentions. When you find the safety of your shell I move you from the beaten path to the leafy edge of a garden and watch you touch your face to the damp underside of the day.

Let_my_shadow_be_your_shade.
Rest here awhile.
There’s more than enough
fire to melt us
back to the Miocene. Let us
linger in the crescents
of an eclipse-bitten star.
Find me in the place
the light leaves.
