The Black Rain
Freezes the Dumpster
Wheels to the Ground

The frozen pools trap a T.V. dinner tin half filled
With perfectly square carrots and spherical peas
And the umber gravy from a Salisbury steak.
Laminated tothe asphalt
As it it were a museum insect,
Encased in glass,
A rare flower
In a water globe.


Devona Lahrman is a transplant to Seattle who has finally found a home. She does not own a car and rides the bus every day.
