Providence, August
what with the fan with its drone so unnoticable
until you recognize it like an old frustration
that vanished in the midst of its remedy
waking up to the descended droves of crows
covering the dew-wet picnic table early in the light
the earth's revived chill slapped tight around my muscles
your heavy spirit begins to work its way past
a lightness it had been laying out for months
and the taught fruits in their green skin
slowly press themselves outward into
heavy concord bulges until they reach the end
of a smoldering sour ripeness
these drapes of twisted wood that have known
newness through supple leaves
pull the chain links closer
closer to their roots obliged beneath the asphalt
black as a mine, black as the coal inside it
the back yards cinched up to a middle
the back yards beginning a common condition
because progress is almost exhausted now
because there is nowhere else to go
