OPPORTUNITIES: FIFTEEN MINUTE CHECKS
I
Cedar waxwings
pluck berries, ballet
among holly branches.
II
Sliding under the car,
I unplug the oil pan,
blackness streams
from the hole.
III
Six goslings hide
under their mother
for warmth.
IV
Someone ties a noose
in a hospital gown,
slips from the tub’s edge.
