no place
for secrets
leafless tree

-Robin Jacobson

November sky—
each star
an ancestor

-Robin Jacobson

rusty typewriter
how many spaces
after a full stop

-Robin Jacobson

swine barn
at the county fair
—each pig with a name

-Robin Jacobson

cat
in a box
feline cubism

-Robin Jacobson

nesting in family secrets attic mice

-Robin Jacobson

morning sun
crane unfolds itself
origami

-Robin Jacobson

between
war and peace
full moon

-Robin Jacobson

on its way
to elsewhere
train whistle

-Robin Jacobson

descending
the mountain
winter
