early march snowstorm
his kite hangs from the ceiling
gathers dust | tempslibres |
Presidents' weekend
all that dirty laundry
sorted by mothers | tempslibres |
desert highway
in the rear view mirror
blue flashing lights | tempslibres |
lonesome train whistle. . .
suddenly grandpa's mind
becomes sharp again | tempslibres |
giant moon.
all neighborhoods share
the same yard light | tempslibres |
young lake ice sings
a tune more ancient
than footprints | tempslibres |

the debris includes
foreclosure signs | tempslibres |
old mill town
each company house
a carbon copy | tempslibres |
long winter night
after chapter six
the tea is cold | tempslibres |

all the quilts
still at the cleaners | tempslibres |

they suddenly have
cold feet | tempslibres |
false hope
a film of oil carries
bent rainbows downstream | tempslibres |
drip.drip.drip.drip.drip.

of maple syrup | tempslibres |
new March snow
the grouse with a missing toe
still around | tempslibres |

each icicle drips
at its own pace | tempslibres |

in the campfire smoke
old memories | tempslibres |

the bluebird's call
clearly audible | tempslibres |
night shift--
in the parking lot car lights
dim near morning | tempslibres |

nothing but ears
above the snow | tempslibres |
lingering cold...

on the cupboard shelf | tempslibres |

back and forth on lake ice
streetlight reflections | tempslibres |
homework --
after the school bus passes
a spider rebuilds | tempslibres |
sultry afternoon
only the mailbox shadow
crosses the dirt road | tempslibres |

in Minnesota | tempslibres |

within the prison walls
a library | tempslibres |
Christmas dinner

only blue jays | tempslibres |
Afternoon rain;
Scents rise
From the garden. | tempslibres |
A spring morning;
The pond's surface blurred
By raindrops. | tempslibres |
night of snow -
a log settles deeper
into the embers | tempslibres |
winter solitude;
steam rising
from my sake cup | tempslibres |
early winter -
yellow windows
in the blue dawn | tempslibres |
loneliness;
the trail of a raindrop
down the pane | tempslibres |
in the treetops
"lingering
" | remains of the day |
autumn evening -
the silence
of ripe pears | tempslibres |
another birthday
under the same
October moon | tempslibres |
unknotting
the hammock ropes;
the scent of burnt leaves | tempslibres |
the spider hanging in its web
doesn't care
the world is upside down | tempslibres |
windy day;
the first flurry
of leaves | tempslibres |
"after the storm
"
floating - | the tranquil moon |
her name on the marble;
"birth and death
" | the space between |
lonely evening;
thunder
rattles the windows | tempslibres |
taking a breather;
the rustle
of poplar leaves | tempslibres |
pale moon -
the sun-bleached bones
of a sparrow | tempslibres |
stepping out
for another log -
"ah | the stars!" |
midwinter -
rain blurs the other side
of the valley | tempslibres |
day long rain -
my breath
fogs the window | tempslibres |
sake clear
to the bottom of my cup -
winter stars | tempslibres |
midwinter slush;
the gray breast
of a chipping sparrow | tempslibres |
cold rain -
the bus pulls back
onto the highway | tempslibres |
early snow -
one more winter
for that old horse | tempslibres |
cold night -
stars so near
we speak in whispers | tempslibres |
stone Jesus
with outstretched arms -
the falling snow | tempslibres |
starry night -
out on the highway
a truck changes gears | tempslibres |
day-long rain;
I organize
my watercolors | tempslibres |
autumn woods -
the smell
of last night's rain | tempslibres |
abandoned by geese
heading south -
my autumn birthday | tempslibres |
late summer -
copper wishes collect
in the bottom of the well | tempslibres |
sultry day -
the tumult of rain
on my umbrella | tempslibres |
a hole in the meadow -
lowering
the farmer's body | tempslibres |
lone guest gone –
the ticking
of the parlor clock | tempslibres |
"in the darkening yard
"
the sun strikes | the cockscomb’s red |
between the treetops
and bright stars –
puffs of white clouds drift | tempslibres |
late night
with Ryokan –
I warm the rice wine | tempslibres |
held together
by its label –
a crushed whiskey bottle | tempslibres |
"whatever the weather
"
his soft smile – | the buddha in the garden |
worn in places
to the bare wood –
the golden buddha | tempslibres |
travelers still catch
the Greyhound there –
the boarded up diner | tempslibres |
rain at graveside –
mourning clothes
soaked a deeper hue | tempslibres |
after the burial –
a day moon
rising | tempslibres |
he looks perplexed -
"the scarecrow
" | chest deep in the river's flood |
zazen -
the hum
of the Fridgidaire | tempslibres |
bridge night -
trying to remember
our last passionate kiss | tempslibres |
flag ceremony -
the old vet's uniform
hangs loosely | tempslibres |
between Cassiopeia
and me -
fireworks! | tempslibres |
lilac shadows
scale the garden wall;
slip off into the woods | tempslibres |
full moon -
even the dilapidated barn
looks majestic | tempslibres |
mountain rain -
the beetle and i
scurry for cover | tempslibres |
snowmelt -
the garden blooms
with children's toys | tempslibres |
love letters -
i rake the embers
of the fire | tempslibres |
camellia buds -
my wife begins
to cradle her belly | tempslibres |
a second glass of wine -
the poem goes
unwritten | tempslibres |
credit crunch -
a half-dozen fireworks
greet the new year | tempslibres |
head cold -
missing the scent
of winter heliotrope | tempslibres |
new highway -
every mile or so
the corpse of a buzzard | tempslibres |
september morning -
fresh flowers
on the roadside shrine | tempslibres |
night fishing -
my rod-tip brushes
the milky way | tempslibres |
traffic lights -
just enough time
to scribble a poem | tempslibres |
