Secondary Colors


Thanks be to God for the layers.

For the fugue

For the plaid

For the sauce.


For the baby who sucks at a dry thumb;

For the old woman frail in the sun

who goes riding her bike in the heat,

and her pink kerchief bobs rhythmically.

Both the old and the new layer trying,

trying simply to cover the bone.
