Living Wage

I. Commute

 

Crumbled red leaves

car edging past the sign

eager to be gone.

 

Someday I will have

an office with a window.

 

II. Cubicle

 

My little walls

a speckled grey nothing

like the crow’s egg;

only high up

one rectangular pane.

 

III. Communion

 

At day’s end, light

kindles and burns along

her soft, copper hair.
