late night--- fireflies rise up in the cemetery
tempslibres
brilliant blue sky--- I finally washed my windows
tempslibres
hurricane season started--- my neighbor buys a hybrid car
tempslibres
a cool breeze--- finally she says something
tempslibres
an ice cream truck stands on Fifth Avenue--- it tastes the same
tempslibres
listening to a sermon on Saturday night--- no mention of hell
tempslibres
the UN tower--- all the windows have the same color
tempslibres
Memorial Day--- starts Iraq's scorching Summer
tempslibres
morning haze--- she's still wearing her chiffon nightgown
tempslibres
a baby fly has not found yet the kitchen---Spring
tempslibres
Spring dark clouds--- my barber asks if I want all the grey out
tempslibres
warm Spring night--- her cleavage glistens under a crescent moon
tempslibres
blue sky--- a cleaning lady takes the morning train home
tempslibres
sunrise--- the purple buds in her flat garden
tempslibres
cold and dark Spring day--- a dead squirrel in a tree pit
tempslibres
morning rush--- the usual black knights
tempslibres
downpours on Tax Day--- but for me no refunds
tempslibres
heavy Spring rain--- in a bar the beer runs like rivers
tempslibres
morning rain--- umbrellas go to work
tempslibres
wearing a white mask because of the pollution--- a day moon
tempslibres
Good Friday--- my neighbor prays in a mosque
tempslibres
gloomy day--- a blind man passes a blooming cherry tree
tempslibres
warm Spring night--- a setting moon takes its time
tempslibres
all the snow melted--- she wears her angora sweater
tempslibres
early March--- new graffiti shaped like a tulip
tempslibres
a silent movie--- the audience keeps on talking
tempslibres
morning rush--- light at the end of the tunnel
tempslibres
foggy day--- I visit the Turkish baths
tempslibres
a hawk flies high--- traffic crawls on the highway
tempslibres
the Ides of March--- a cat has passed nine dogs
tempslibres
morning stillness--- a crow finally flies away
tempslibres
Fat Tuesday--- an ice cream truck parks on melting snow
tempslibres
Ash Wednesday--- no line at the halal food cart
tempslibres
she speaks English with a Provence accent--- I order a glass of rosé
tempslibres
on a fire hydrant I tie my shoes---behind me a dog waits its turn
tempslibres
winter morning--- too many men wearing grey suits
tempslibres
cold night---I pass the statue of a man wearing a winter coat
tempslibres
February First--- a sun ray dances on her cell phone
tempslibres
extreme cold weather--- the stars shine more brightly
tempslibres
very cold day--- a stuffed bear stays under the bed covers
tempslibres
the price of tortillas goes up--- let them eat ethanol
tempslibres
soft spoken--- her jewelry and music are heavy metal
tempslibres
blizzard--- too much powdered sugar even for Valentine Day
tempslibres
gloomy afternoon--- a red haired woman smiles at me
tempslibres
snacking on blue corn chips--- moonless night
tempslibres
at a general statue--- a dog salutes by raising its leg
tempslibres
cold Saturday night--- the barmaid puts sake in my green tea
tempslibres
beautiful winter dawn--- I ran out of Jasmine tea
tempslibres
strange faces are out this saturday night--- the moon
tempslibres
early morning--- last night stardust is on the lilacs
tempslibres
morning haze--- I keep recounting how many Santas
tempslibres
morning commute--- the silence of end of the year stress
tempslibres
overcast morning--- not enough sugar in the rice pudding
tempslibres
morning rush--- a blonde with no lipstick
tempslibres
Autumn sunset--- a birthday balloon rises
tempslibres
Fifth Avenue station--- the sound of hoofs on the pavement
tempslibres
grey morning--- I check out a new tanning salon
tempslibres
a bartender needs more olives--- the bridge lights turn on
tempslibres
a dog patiently waits for his plate--- Thanksgiving Day
tempslibres
Black Friday--- so many turkeys at the sales
tempslibres
the harvest is over I hang the sickle--- crescent moon
tempslibres
Autumn morning--- neighborhood graffiti has changed colors

hell--- a homeless man wears a new garbage bag
tempslibres
overcast day--- I look at old pictures in black and white
tempslibres
my morning train delayed---a seagull flies above the tracks

Autumn night--- a homeless man has a pumpkin
tempslibres
she wears a purple blouse at sunset--- I order espresso
tempslibres
October last Sunday--- lost an hour resetting an old clock
tempslibres
sweet bitterness of a dark chocolate- winter time
tempslibres
bamboo flute the scent of green tea
tempslibres
at the end of a long learning curve a helmut of white hair
tempslibres
nearly dusk... desire without a name
tempslibres

tempslibres
fall morning extra sugar in my tea
tempslibres
fading bruises birdsong in the distance

waiting room ivy growing on the outside wall
tempslibres
evening star— fold upon fold the quiet blue hills
tempslibres

autumn chill-- time for a hot bowl of chili
tempslibres
frozen pond-- the moon trapped in a crack
tempslibres
November night-- the smell of burning leaves and marshmallows
