#6 1994
This poem won a prize in a competition in 1994 or 1995 and was published in the compilation book of prize-winning poems. I’ve lost the details.
war movie
stepped out of a war movie
onto the patio
into the tiny sounds of night
insect calculus
clouds
are in the garden
and the prickle
of distant laughter
alice white as cake
listens to the snow thoughts
settle on the driveway
decides to move the car
