7 Fragments
by Peter Newton
my dead friend / she would also like / how I refer to her now
*
wind-whipped leaves / part of me / too tender for this
*
I row out / to see how / life looks from here
*
second day of June / birds unbothered / by numbers
*
a few things / left to tell you– / the hummingbird’s perch
*
Monday morning / shaving off / my clown face
*
a road-trip heart / in a hermit’s body / we each say a few words
