5

the purple iris
has lost a petal
yet
ragged and wilted
it still shares its sweet June
fragrance [a]

6

domed lid for a latté
beige foam glued to its trans-
parency [b]

7

shredded crinkled red and green paper
--- so out of season [c]

8

a clean white napkin
--- not good enough to not waste [d]

9

a paper dish
a red and white plaid boat
what went for a brief ride
before it disembarked
down someone's throat? [e]

10

lemon quatered
covered with dirt
but the zest smells fresh
--- ah ---
the zest [f]
