this is what a moment means:
turnip in the old black pot

a man in a kettle hat says,
“I loved her like she was 16,
only could cook, ya know
ya know what i mean?”

the sun shatters into a thousand
clouds of grayling white

a woman adjusts her garter
discretely in the back of the meetinghouse
the preacher says,
“The Father expects your best.”

a deadwater puddle
evaporates.
