I.
The a.m. light-post, majestic
as it is to look at with its wrought-iron
post and ornate light-box contributes
to the city's flood blocking
the stars; the view is paid for by
minutes of tomorrow's exhaustion.

III.
The hedges know nothing of iron
yet they reach up to obscure windows;
strain to cover up steps. Only precise
violence can keep them in check.

IX.
Dandelions demand seed;
the particle stuff on the wind.
White tails of rabbits flash
as they dodge between iron
and earth.
