Postcard #5 (belatedly)

Peel apart blades

of grass and blow

a sound a papercut

and all the birds go still.

For a moment silence

the center

of a cloud vapor rushes

towards any slope of land

for a place to fall. Today

the guava tree is just

out of reach.

Uh, I see no topics for March 13 or 14 and consequently, no poems. Do you need me to turn the brainstorming wheels of topic generation? HB, I know you heart my topics! (This is a threat in order to stimulate creativity...is it working?)
