A Visit to My Backyard
Let me take you to my backyard.
I'm sitting on the step
leading out back to the alley,
everyone's trash overflowing.
Ivy laces the chain link,
crawls over the shed
and the house
and the chair,
long abandoned
by an invisible man.
Sometimes I'll use it
when the house is all asleep,
and watch the days roll into one another
as the garden wilts into winter.
