Two of my children
Dance computer arcs
In the kitchen.
Steam locomotives
Shoosh up darkened hills
Over roadbeds of old
Digital watches.
 
In the woods diesel insects,
Yellow with black markings,
Stalk about bunching logs,
Blinking multicolored eyes.
 
Thin sheets of tree lie in my lap,
Words on them.
