The Husband

Raud Kennedy

My landlord showed up this morning
to blow leaves around the building.
A short, potbellied bald man
doing what he’s been told to.
“You can’t put your sailboat
in the water,” said his wife,
“until work at the sevenplex is done.”
He turned on the leaf blower,
the air filled with dust.
It’s July. The leaves,
still in the trees.
