set on the steps at the cellar door.
Sycamore tree reaching a peeling limb
over the back porch, painfully bending a knee.
Great gusts of wind gnash round the house this noon.
A spirit with something to say--
but what? Is it the way the screen door slams,
the leaves, blown down from above, as they dance
in skittery circles on the brown grass?
