North Fork of the New by Bowman

Thin oil for the cold car.
Paint peeling off the Subaru.
Leaves on the windshield wipers,
chocks behind the wheels.
A place you can rent for cheap
about five miles out from town,
Game Land boundary
running along the ridge.
Morning or night,
something to conjure by,
like seeds after a burn:
good weed in a glass jar,
a stack of songs on the dusty floor,
a broken-in pair of boots.
