the goats
have
eaten my papaya trees.
and I smell the
dust coming in
my
window.
shifted, lifted, by that truck passing by.
I
make
make-shift leaves from incense smoke.
they fade.
But good news I
won’t inhale
their smoke.
as inside and outside
is dry season debris
I lay dust
still.
someone will
play that song
stuck,
so stuck in my head.
