National Poetry Month Day 10: Jake Skeets

 

 

 

Eating Wild Carrots with My Brothers on the Mesa

 

cicada wane
            water and sun race every infinite evening
fall exists for the dock root to oxalate
                        each roof of every mouth
            each winter with its obsessed wind
each spring that sees storm after storm

                                   each wild that wilds
pasqueflowers opening palms to straight rain
