Distant thunder
Two pines against lit background
midsummer light and the grass
my dog dreams of bone
He is also a horse
Worn out shirt or "the dregs"
as I once referred to as
Unable to be donned
retired later to cedar floors
Silverfish devours all Latin
and Greek and [hole]
a cemetery wall now
uneven death in your tongue
So distant a night, a winter
a dull thump of the clouds
my dog, my shirt, your Latin
wallow in wanting still, here
