spooks

i jumped when i saw the fluffy lump ruffling at the side of the road; it looked like a flattened animal, raising its tail in a sluggish wave. it was just a roll of tree debris, gently fluttering in the wind.

small animals scrabble in the dying hemlocks outside my window, and i mistook it for the sound of someone rooting through our trash.

my potatoes have peeked into the air.
