dusk walk

recently collected objects: half-pressed (one side flat, one rounded) tangle of tumbleweed, two red-striated scraps of rock (marbled), a bare branch sprung into white bloom (small, hollow-husked) dropped into tabletop hole, a whorled piece of thick green glass (lens) packed with dirt on the back side, and a last rising succession of mourning doves out of power line grid, (traced in order, loudly, coldly, above our stone-kicking feet).
