The statue of the laundress
\nstands in mute assessment.
\nThe day crinkles like celluloid,
\nproducing rodent sounds.
\nThe church league wakes
\nwith thoughts of holy toast.
\nGarage doors yawn mechanically.
\nThe cool air spits colors.
\nSly grass grows around the tree nub.
\nSomewhere a runner has stumbled,
\nankle painfully swelling.
\nA blue nurse takes too many pills.
\nOne stone in the old wall shifts,
\nchanging everything.
\nThe first word is written
\nby insects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
