Grown Up
Child-like
yet no longer
a child, anger
grows.

Thinned

in a pail
of rainwater:

Parked
I was thankful for the hot wind
stirring through the Chicago crowd
carrying the weight of my
words.
Today I sit alone
a resting place for birds
casting shade at insects —
speechless.

I’d tell you my recipe
for wild pig,
but that might boar you.

I belong here, in this city—
this starred place on the map
where the Labrador gets skunked
and the doe skirts the edge of the highway
and the hawk lands on a nest of wires.
Where the airplanes circle like falcons
and the streetlights create the heavens.
Where everything is common and known
except the wildness in my heart.
