A mind of autumn and a back burrowing
for a reason of being as trees drop their winter
greetings. Today the sun came up. There it
was. So decided the world did
not begin the day I was born but in
a quiet exchange years before.
A soldier unplugged a bullet from a bone.
A pretty girl licked an ice cream cone.
