an umbrella left here on friday usually is gone by monday
forgotten in the cellar a bicycle with both tires flat
a spark plug held tight in my father’s old fist as he approaches the shed

as fireflies swarm she experiences the mysterious through a screen
on its back the beetle plugs into a new frenzied energy
