First Place Davenport Plumer
NEW HOUSES
The field my son and I were walking in
Snicked with broken corn stalks

And taller, stalky weeds.
Our shoes were powdered brown
with dust spooring from the leaves and twigs.
We walked beneath the reining sun
That burned the field
And made us squint
Like snow-wise esquimo,
Toward the new white house
We were investigating.
We were walking from my son's school
