passing, all its leaves

inescapable heat

a gum branch tears itself away

one prayer and two full buckets
on the Japanese maple

I hear nothing but the beat

the teens fall silent
in the shade

spent verbena bloom
spent verbena bloom
falling, I skin my knee

kettle whistle
kettle whistle
she holds back tears
talking of her mother

from the wood stove
from the wood stove
a memory of grandma’s perfect
