311 – 315
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

306 - 310
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

301 - 305
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

296 - 300
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

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
Tuesday, March 15, 2011
286 – 290
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

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

276 - 280
a warm afternoon
small cats lapping up water
at times, a clock ticks
i study the tracks
made by backpacks through brick paths
and now, a decade
my dear dr. ink
eyes behind glasses
a cosmic culture of blue
a microscope prepped
thoughts crystallizing
form order from alphabet
outside, snow collects
writers in cafes
clustered about like snowflakes
words stick, collect, melt

271 - 275
off the edge of a dark knife
half a blood orange
we ride parallel
synced up like windshield wipers
rain dots our faces
I'm going to the park
to paint parrots on pages
white paper cages
two boys fake war
their tactics all plastic
park pigeons limp by
a necklace placed, shifts,
retrace the steps of caress
grass torn and thrown

266 - 270
burnt toast sits in the sink
still warm blankets dream
unabashed squirrel
a frantic rain wet porch bath
exposed tea leaves shine
i bike thru light rain
the sun shy in the sky, bright thru
houses of shadows
birds the same size as
planes. the skyline, construction
crane backlit, frozen
one snake shed its skin
late afternoon light reveals
galaxies of dust
Tuesday, February 1, 2011
261 - 265
sea canary sings
frequencies inaudible
subliminal sea
a warmed piston
dipped in honey
hearts beat a path
clouds part angelic
a flurry of birds chirping
free cake I can eat!
the theory of snacks
a table, some empty bowls,
and one shy cookie
leaf, not fallen far
a brown spot on the roof top
voices unwind, wind

life is like the a.w.a.r.d.s show:
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
256 - 260
a face with no name
the click of a range burner
the warmth of knowing
the trees part the clouds
drop leaves, shaking off the rest
a letter sent
thin lines stretched for miles
smiles
the catastrophe of truth
time numbing gray skies
crows in perfect silhouette
same sweater today
a knock at the door
this stranger, my shy neighbor
dinner dishes undone
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
251 - 255
connect electric
collapsing into silence
a cold kettle
wingtips in flight
the flutter of eyelashes
the rush, the lovers, rush
the perfect pot
breakfast or
break it
bare branches
curtainless window
a ladder leaning
creased pages
the curve of earth
snaked ess, a snapshot

241 - 250
stare into space
kid in a fountain
wet wash of starlight
asleep with few sheets
the black notes of birds pebbling
closed windows
a washing of words
sluiced through a steel grate
dirt down drains scrapes pipes
piano! dusty wires
connect fingers to brain, fingers to brain,
been too long, that song.
you said 'paint peeled'
i heard 'fate sealed.'
water dries, leaves salt
bare flesh in high winds
the surface of fresh water,
in fall rains, complains.
empty parking lot
spines of stray cats
starved gaps
late pumpkin
tucked in amongst leaves
mold or frost or both
water on the whale
twinkling against the sky
an astronaut
archways
all the spaces above
freckles taught
