291 - 295


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

286 – 290

yr my cloud break

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

281 - 285

j t w

hearing with his hands

looking back, walking ahead

a flat piece of wood


von keller creates

her creased expression

an unspeakable knowing

painting as séance


cold called early light

alarm clock poised to beacon

butterfly fly fly


bicycle blue jeans best friend

this gravity that holds me

water from the tap


pupil eyes open

i am in taking it in

dry parchment drinks ink
