cloud, the color of bone; there's a mole
cricket on the picnic 
table, there are flashes of familiarity on 
the strangers' faces. Places 

               nobody has never 

been. paths of fieldstone pavers
in disrepair. unaccompanied
along memories etched in 
granite gravemarkers. greeting

He lifts his glass, takes a sip of 
whispers. this 
will be the year his

moan  
from the bulb. he shrugs 
forever. the throw 
pillows deformed from so much leaning.
