Nina Wicker

caught in a storm 
the stilled mole's paws 
filling with snow
partly cloudy--
a yellow cat taking her time
through the cemetery
the scent of cereus
again and again a moth
tries the screen
Winter clouds 
neck-deep in snow 
an old gourd
church steps in spring . . . 
       the child fills her purse 
                  with cicada shells
corn on the cobb—
my husband complains again
                         of coon tracks
winter wind—
sound of a skill saw 
through the broken window
first day of fall 
        a train takes the hound's howl
                     deeper into the night
