I wake up to a clap of new summer heat
and an indigo sky with orange-gold belts.
This weekend we’re staying at a schoolhouse

through a Jewish cemetery and along the canal,
avoiding main roads, which takes us essentially
the whole afternoon.

He previously studied creative writing and studio art at Oswego. He’s edited a couple literary mags himself, and would most definitely be down to picnic with Mr. Toad.
