by Kenton K. Yee

Bundled on the roof, an extra windy night. Binocular eyes
search the fog-smeared winter sky. Can you dip me in a
stardust pie? Feint lights in the sky excite he who hasn’t
enough. Both eyes shut is how I pass the time. With each
word I write, one more comes to mind.

            cherry trees
            April nor’easter
            shivering scarecrows
