jerusalem artichoke

Cloudy. Driving to work in the morning, windows closed, and the heat is on. Milkweed seed pods opening in Proctor. Jerusalem Artichoke, over 7 feet tall and brightly yellow demanding my attention alongside the Clarendon River. People discussing heating oil prices in the cafeteria at work. I thought about my wood pile.
Morning, sickle in hand,
Noon, roaming the forest,
Gathering and binding wood.
Now the evening moon,
Quietly shedding her light
On my path.

  1. High of 93 today, 89 as I write this comment. Saw a red fox biking to work this morning on the corner of 7th avenue and St. Paul street, which makes me think about Alaska a little bit.
