Birds among the squash







This is widely known:  birds are sentinels.  But what do we know about Winter squash? Here's a tidbit rarely shared:  Winter squash always show up in force for a carnival and consider themselves a self-contained casserole.  Consider that.  Consider, placing your next 23 poems inside a hallowed-out squash which you have just prepared for baking.  Oh my.  How those words will taste.

  1. now, then, your name
    across all the desks--
    the ages reach and could be rebuffed--
    I call it to see you
    and sit by your side
    the colors, shapes, ideas
    combine
