April via last May

Halt the habit
Here's how
Hang it up and
Hook your pit bull jaw—
Hold it fast—to the
Hatch. Then

Just ride away.

January

Wet scarf,
sucked into your mouth over and over

Men waddling,
Women waddling,
choosing each step carefully

Hat hair

Fingers wrinkled against the wheel,
solid and small,
dry and drawn,
close to death

Crunch and squeak,
boots and steam

Sunlight,
ice and salt
