Today's poem is by Marc Rahe

How to Use a Gravity Well as a Slingshot
       

Color-coded flags in the yard where not to dig.
Someone knocks, stands awhile. Gives up,

goes away. Things I'm going to fix include
a bite, involve adding elements of fire and water.

In the night the sound of something outside
I wish would die faster.
