John Doyle writes



A Change in the Weather

Greens detonate
after rain has fallen,
these lawns in their rising breath possess a sense of speech,
and students dragging their heels
will leave a drip of memoirs unforeseen

a wriggled-smile succeeds
their vodka-glazed broil,
he takes sails of his 
meanderings again,
her hip-hung sweater

a cape
ancient superheroes wore,
his mantle 
dislodged,
and questions of place -

greens silent,
and the rain
un-afraid of
this seeping
chatter
