TIME SHORTS | Patrick Walsh | Scene4 Magazine February 2017


	Patrick Walsh

Time Shorts

Rosy-Fingered Dawn

In less than ten minutes,

the act

of diffident morning

becomes

brazen fact.

Temper

Days are the forge

in which

I true myself;

I am smith

to human ore.

Winter League

January morning —

a winter World Series

in my backyard:

Cardinals four,

Blue Jays two.

Calendar Trivia

On this day

the backhoe

that will dig my grave

was assembled

in Dearborn.
