SEQUEL #17
The monkey’s monkey
wears the monkey’s mask
to greet the storm
Mist under the trees
snakes move among
the fallen peaches
A young hawk squats
on the broken gate
tangled in the hedge
Clouding the darkness
snow returns to the tombs
where the mud thickens
Juncos and finches share
the collapsed chimney
lacquered with ice
