They are mine, the horses looking over a fence in the frost of late October saying good-morning to the horses hauling wagons of rutabaga to market.
They are mine, the old zigzag rail fences, the new barb wire.. . .
The cornhuskers wear leather on their hands.
There is no let-up to the wind.

I didn't. There are oranges
enough for him, the jays, and us,
across the fence in the yard
next door oranges rotting

in the name rat, a horror
that may be private. When I
