Leyna Inberg

november

autumn unfolded this evening
every storefront a solemn silver grate

I turned down twenty eighth
to find company in the cold glow

a woman ducked down on the pavement
to pick up an abandoned plant
it sat aside a trash can
and a cardboard box of other cardboard boxes

small purple flowers
tipped with brown
she carried it down the street
around the corner

she thought something of it
something more than I or anyone else had.

poems that sit in a folder on her kitchen table.  She lives in Brooklyn, which is also her
favorite place to write about.
