    “Book Descriptions: I Have A Poem The Size Of The Moon is a book of poems about Nebraska. Not cornfields, not cows: Cities, highways, long drives and the political conversations simmering.

    Between Meteors and Fireflies

    In a drought year, corn stubble bends

    into Headlines: “Farmers pray for rain.”

    Tumbleweeds take time to harmonize

    and choreograph, somewhere between

    meteors and fireflies. The grocery

    sells blueberries all year round, but

    the charge card feels heavy as a refrigerator

    once you slip it from the wallet.

    You don’t end up buying the magazines,

    just browse. It’s a tow truck, doorbell

    button, garbage disposal broke summer:

    no real difference between a silo and a

    paper sack, it seems. And in the hallway,

    light glows from under the bathroom door.
