Sun drips
on leaves
not the backyard variety
but the trembling kind
the kind
that weld night-time
intermissions to
the roof of the mouth
sonnet-filled
evaporation
reveals
the timely concealment of
a very, weary
inanimate object
at the brink
just enough hip
to be woman
just enough wild
to be frontier
