from THE DAYLIGHT SECTIONS (37)

each conversation interrupts humidity
with weightless diversionary tactics
before the rain late-afternoons its way into
the venison heartbeat

peacetime appreciates unnoticed
amid acres of proof attention might be
turned another way
for now the forecast remains

simple as etiquette
and what shows is absence
of blockage between sensory intention
and its target

moving or unmoved by what draws in
potential via leafage and fresh water
to inform change
with its longer laughter
