DALE MARTIN SMITH ~




 Look for the Local



It would not have been possible

to say to you, Here, inhabit

this now. Rain and leaves

suggest time is with you.


Corners, cluttered with plants,

books, pictures.  The trees

were full of leaves, and now not

so red, so yellow.


In this blur what is apprehended

bends toward, and away, from you.

Slow day of rain, and naked,

hair up, casual in this light.
