dodging storm-thrown nuts

filling the basket and

dreaming of pie

two pecans
do not a pie make
today's windfall

we need these speckled brown eggs
to make a pie
they leep from the tree
snuggle under leaves
and hold their breath
if we don't find them
next summer, the lawnmower will
their little wooden brains
can fool the eye
but not the unthinking blade

 pecans bounce
and roll off the concrete
autumn breeze

a week without rain
pecans in tight green hulls
bounce on hot cement
