assam silvertip

the weeds in the parking strip clear the cardoor handles
and let’s just say we’re on a first-name basis
with rain. is this any way to spend my vacation–
dreaming of kisses past?

the merchant of hot air

o would that i had found the faith, fair portia,
to borrow the means to sail for such
as thee. instead i’ve clung to what i own:
the vanity of poetry

sorry, shakespeare

it’s midnight, yet the sky is evening-blue
two rings embrace the blinding moon
will i ever tire of describing the moon?
better ask the moon

sleepytime extra

cooling-car-songs. crispest sky. a cat
sips the moon from a street-puddle. what’s
that star in the south, tugging at my eyes
reminding me of…what?

hot water

loud drops fall from eaves
step out. near-full
moon burns hole through clouds
no thing more
