Pen clenched in left hand,
bent over her sudoku…
our train cools down.
☯
To grandmother and
grandfather, his tattoo, but
I don’t ask him why.
☯
Two umbrellas hung
from the guard tower railing,
not needed today.
☯
Balloon flowers,
available in two shades;
grade-school commuters.
☯
Ducks greet the sunrise
I hear them but don’t see them
as they plan their day.
☯
I put down my book
to watch alternating lights,
both red, from the bus.
☯
Yes! Go forth and seek
enlightenment through one rake;
I’ll pray you find it.
☯
I wait, with sausage;
that elevator’s taking
a long time today.
☯
Two dogs in the lake
black fur white fur flank-to-flank;
who chews on the stick?
☯
She bids the blind man
goodbye, leaving him her seat
and a shoulder touch.
☯
Two crows kissing
left side of the chapel cross
aloft, then, due west
☯
“hole”–written on a
big board which actually
has one, this side up.
☯
The window and desire
must intersect at some point
I’ll think on it more.
☯
The barking dog
on Wednesday afternoon
keeps me from my nap.
☯
The spider, gone from
its web at 4:45;
Will I call again?
☯
I shall leave nothing
for posterity to hold
same sun, same window
☯
