All the lines I told myself I'd remember I've forgotten

 

Too late 

Look at those cute little eyelashes

I'm hurt 

Two boxes of honeycrisps and a bunch of lavender 


She looks pretty in that dress 

The leaves fall golden-brown-dimpled-purple 

I rake them until the web between my thumb and index finger blisters 

 

At long last the new sofa has arrived

150 native plants this fall 

soon I'll tier the garden beds

 

I'm really grateful to have friends

We'll pick our own at the pumpkin patch 

Before it rains we walk in the woods 

A snake surfaces


Guess what motherfuckers I like a lot of musicals 

I press my nostrils to the lavender, inhaling
