echoes two owls somewhere in the night
tempslibres
insomnia the sound of a goose lost in the night
tempslibres
the time it takes to learn how to be silent blue mountains
tempslibres
homesick a hot wind rattles the cottonwood leaves
tempslibres
huddled cows their steam thickens the valley mist
tempslibres
gaza murdered children my faded lilacs
tempslibres
alep bombings at my bathroom window the misted full moon
tempslibres
schedule screen the spider spinned its web between two tramways ---
tempslibres
in the greyness the rosé bottle of the homeless ---
tempslibres
subway station ads as only light the day after the bombs
tempslibres
leap year looking a her twins a squinting woman ---
tempslibres
less cars in front of the brothels valentine's day ---
tempslibres
on my smartphone mount fuji in the sunset morning coffee ---
tempslibres
after the bell just the rain on the umbrellas ashes to ashes
tempslibres
for just a moment the warmth of our tears cold rain
tempslibres
morning run observing me at the observatory the fox
tempslibres
the evasive look of a teen without make up first buds
tempslibres
evening bus this man in the reflection is it me?
tempslibres
her cooled tea in the middle of the table first snow ---
tempslibres
evening tram her diamond on her nose a star ---
tempslibres
more piercing in the autumn mist the blackbird's song
tempslibres
asleep a golden dot on her ear bus forty one
tempslibres
emptied fountain carried by the autumn wind silt scent
tempslibres
the silence of the april rain after the shower
tempslibres
back to school -- still a bit of high tide near sand dunes
tempslibres
around the moon "slowly the haze"
above the crickets
watching the moon moving behind the oak Summer wind
tempslibres
autumn freshness nourishing a child of eighty years old
tempslibres
saturday morning under the japanese cherrytree a pink puddle
tempslibres
the Big Dipper moving on the water spring rain
tempslibres
spring night we're chatting peacefully near the violets
tempslibres
ex-girlfriend with a baby carriage spring rain
tempslibres
tonight a moorhen perturbing the great bear
tempslibres
first snow a loser teenager dead from an overdose
tempslibres
new moon nothing else on the lake than the calls of the moorhens
tempslibres
low clouds -- listening to the snow sleepless night
tempslibres
apple pie scents my dead grandmother cooking in a photo album
tempslibres
haïku written in the underground unreadable
tempslibres
friday evening the silence of the office on my keyboard
tempslibres
after the fireworks he marvels at the moon
tempslibres
5 o' clock am behind the thick fog fresh bread scents
tempslibres
in the rear-view mirror the loving look of the mother her reciting daughter
tempslibres
in the empty schoolyard only plastic bags are going the rounds
tempslibres
the smell of her hands on the neck of the bottle drinking greedily
tempslibres
a pen in a hand she's counting the empty bottles I'm counting her assets
tempslibres
opening the window and smelling the white lilac bloomed last night
tempslibres
late season christmas lights illuminate a golden buddha
tempslibres
"a hint of blue still" in the passing of these clouds
— sip of coffee
bedtime -- trying not to count maimed solders
tempslibres
indian summer the viagra stock deflates
tempslibres
pregnant again . . . the fluttering of moths against the window
tempslibres
for a moment the gull in the air is very white
tempslibres
"Fly " be afraid!
No Buddhists in this house!
spring breeze-- between pages of an old book a crushed rose
tempslibres
veteran's day photo of the uncle I never met
tempslibres
the cries of homecoming geese louder
tempslibres
pale overcast the darker shadow of returning geese
tempslibres
my wife home from hospital hibiscus in full bloom
tempslibres
My 72nd winter the deepening cold in every room
tempslibres
month-old obit of an ex-girl friend unexpected rain
tempslibres
back and forth across our conversation fireflies
tempslibres
death watch ended the rain storm begins
tempslibres
my wife home from the hospital hibiscus in full bloom
tempslibres
at opposite ends of the reading room ex-lovers
tempslibres
despite my assurances my wife's makeup thicker
tempslibres
somewhere behind the old barn end of the rainbow
tempslibres
thunderstorms all day long broken promises
tempslibres
hot chocolate the scent stronger this cold night
tempslibres
late night rain the crickets finally silent
tempslibres
nothing in our bedroom but moonlight
tempslibres
sunset traffic slowly down the hill into darkness
tempslibres
at the crossroads no wind to give a direction
tempslibres
smalltown street sunset and moonrise at opposite ends
tempslibres
slow afternoon the rain changes to drizzle
tempslibres
home alone the cold of an autumn rain
tempslibres
silent night the fog thick at every window
tempslibres
late night traffic the swirl of leaves after the last bus
tempslibres
while making love the last icicle falls
tempslibres
bad news from home the cold morning colder still
tempslibres
voices in the cemetery remembrance day
tempslibres
after the argument the storm clouds also break up
tempslibres
pouring rain yet another question without an answer
tempslibres
graveside sermon ended the last leaves blown from a nearby tree
tempslibres
63 today nothing from here to the horizon but fair weather clouds
tempslibres
start of a new season a book loaned to a new friend
tempslibres
right after morning prayers distant thunder
tempslibres
mountain storm somewhere during its echo the thunder ends
tempslibres
60 today the full moon still rising
tempslibres
somewhere in the graveyard birdsong
tempslibres
also in the fog the scent of autumn
tempslibres
cold dark night the warmth of her hand in mine
tempslibres
snow and rain mixed my angry words and her tears
tempslibres
death of an old friend my cup empty
tempslibres
behind the man in the open doorway nothing but darkness
tempslibres
the gap between the mountains filled with fog
tempslibres
grain silos long shadows on fresh snow
tempslibres
rusted wire on a weatherworn post wisps of gray fur
tempslibres
backyard BBQ at the end of his rope a barking dog
tempslibres
remembering summer how brittle the leaves underfoot
tempslibres
summer rain the smell of earth in the air
tempslibres
