baby birds
all eyes, beak, closed and quiet
CHECK IT OUT! I yell.
birds
suspended in a gale
yes, but
requite, not quite
dead one more does
not to life
the others bring
a blue jay rests
black power lines sway
blue sky blue sky blue sky
another day here
and there and there and there
gray haired dandelions
lights on
on a parked car
footsteps halted
having dined alone
belly full of toast
sink full of crumbs
watched
we watched
a hawk
paper
creased creased creased
i check my phone
blue shells
bounded by
blue sky
like listening
the quiet that hugs the sound
lips on teeth
race horses coursing
steam trains kicking up black dirt
coffee ground grit bit
on the wall
your black shall
you bake, frost a cake
i caught the cat
yawning -
but you slept all day!
spring pinging
wet dots
on roof tops
knotted ropes squeak, groan
tiny boat in open seas
and potted plants bloom
shadow my shadow
yr stretched warped on the sidewalk
daytime moon daylight
curiosity
this down hill velocity
a bird flies thru hail
my last breath today
a warm, wordless eulogy
buried in blankets
along sidewalk cracks
worms stretch out long, taut
all vein, heart and guts
in your absence
I absentmindedly
eat 2 bowls worth
now riley
it's been so long, girl
same street, different clothes, a dress
yr cat long since passed
that was then, we say
telephone line spider threads
a fly caught, struggles
a single loose thread
arcs in the warm breeze, haloed
bright green maple starts
in a light blue sky
a tree's still bare limbs reach out
scratching a moon itch
my subtle earthquake
bright light and held tight
piers over calm calm
soft whispering of sand sand
cold hand in hand
the roof needs fixin'
says the rain to hire men
ants on dropped candy
gray skies, you old dog,
rheumy eyes and sooty coat
cloud breather, play dead
don't resist the knife
little tongue red sun balloon
a grilled cheese sammich
