The sidewalk collects a pretty girl
The hum of the new air conditioner
and the scratching of furniture and boxes.
Today we moved my brother into his first house.
Small, hot, and crowded.
The bustling sweat of a summer move. A good move.
It was somewhere near 1:30 in the morning.
I watched her
from the basement stairs.
I saw a woman
climb a tree in the backyard,
into the high web-laden branches
and weep.
