Miu Miu Wakes Then Sleeps Then Wakes



1

red bottle-brush bloom
but the midday sun's hidden
by this sudden storm



2

a sudden impulse
to phone my mother's mother
gone for 20 years



3

these asparagus stalks
still wet from last night's rain
the first taste of spring



4

the sound-bytes of war
reflected in the TV
you face nothing more



5

effigies of doves
an unsteady staccato
from helicopters



6

long-stem strawberries
in a white ceramic bowl
given by sunlight



7

middle of the night
dripping sounds from the kitchen
water the cactus



8

middle of the night
fog horns from the Pacific
comforting sameness
