as this sunset (color of clementines?)
is sensed through this
cold of cold (feel of catgut pulled?)
seems as good
a time as any
to take a wooden box
nearly square
wrapped in an ancient shawl
and open it to
our darkening land
taking out a mixed
packet of seeds
of dogwood ofstaghorn sumac
a Seneca clay pipe once
found by Bear Lake
a pint of Maker's Mark
and all that's
verified by
human hearing
