Jim’s Wife Died Last Night

by

Tim J Brennan

in the meantime:

coffee brews, neighbor’s cat skits
across the back deck, tripping
past your shoes left
out last night—

a door closes,
another door closes

a tinge of dirty yellow
tops the tips of the ash trees
across the field, tells you September

astonished the leaves—

at least some
have fallen
