seconds to go

tiny lascivious duets on the edge of the sun’s advance: the finches own the morning i’ll follow them west for a bit, and entreat my new neighbors to join in their riotous cheers

dead asleep

just minutes ago the birds were having a music festival and they stopped for the train, which calls from the distance and leaves behind the sound of rain against siding what was i dreaming about?

colorful walk

the medians and vacant lots awaken oxalis nasturtium ceanothus and mallows is that what kept me tossing about all night wondering about my friends?

recycling day

i run outside to catch my landlady bernice to tell her that i dreamed of how to level her toolshed with pea-gravel, but i’m too late and the tea is getting bitter

storm calm storm calm

everybody loves these sunny february days crisp clear light and skin-hair sings wasn’t it last year, about this time, that i saw you sipping the air with a smile?
