Found on the Ground
F.L. Blumberg
A leek abandoned to the night,
A stone goblin stewing in spite.
A beltless buckle adorning the street,
A butterfly-tree leaf and its petal meet.
A treacherous offer of assistance,
A can with umbrella off in the distance.
Chiaroscuro of Bougainvillea,
A pouch for pens to draft juvenilia.
Far from the furnace, ghost money has flown,

A free-spirited sole out on its own.
Delicate powder-puff mangrove flower,
Lacy skeleton leaf insect-devoured.
A pink lighter from a pocket dislodged,
A camouflage purse almost camouflaged.
