| a beach at twilight solitary young people dance in the shallows * * * * full moon blues a golden percheron graces the calendar * * * * her sunflower poem their big brown eyes in my dream * * * * wild flowers fill the little yard missing the roses * * * * dark earth clings to the roots limp wild flowers * * * * early morning snow rare city silence unbroken * * * * hot laundromat she speaks Korean I use hand gestures * * * * sunny spring day – squinting to read poems in a dingy bar * * * * spring cleaning – my spider web mustache * * * * she bends over to retrieve the coin too much information * * * * cat olympics every shadow, something to startle at * * * * white flowered dream tree: waking to spring rain * * * * |
