Stone Porch Perch

Here the vine grows eight feet

a minute our hostess winks

twining one stray shoot

back onto another at the mother frame

The left side of her face 

stilled by stroke

These green lithe limbs resemble

grape stems the sky goes

rose we hear every

punctuation mark every trill

mourning doves the rub of

wings against the dusk 

just out of sight

goats caw then further 

anxious rising flotilla 

of fenced-in puppies

loosed from shoes feet rest 

one white wicker ottoman 

chairs rock reluctantly

lazy sloped roof & length of road 

in front occasionally a car

as if lost

a telephone
