Lightning hit the tree quiet in the hollow
watch it crash the house cut it down tomorrow
a cup of band-aids fishing rods and a bowling ball
a leopard lamp a patchwork plaid
from scraps during the telesales
a white elephant no thunder open seal
with butter knife from under
run a line across the root from oak
two clothespins in an envelope
