after bombing
ruins of the bridge
linked by fog | tempslibres |
a pebble
sinks into its silence
river dusk | tempslibres |
a flurry of snow
in the light of a street lamp
a man asks for change | tempslibres |
"Lighting the room
"
candle by candle; | a winter evening. |
crocus breeze -
my dying mother's words
come back to me | tempslibres |
sudden downpour -
the memory of a butterfly
washed away | tempslibres |
from one year
to another -
the same moon | tempslibres |
day moon -
the distance between us
full of silence | tempslibres |
new moon
blue shadows in grey light
and week old snow | tempslibres |
yellow walnut leaves
slowly appear on the lawn--
early morning light | tempslibres |
the mulberry--
one brief smell of cut wood
in two hours work | tempslibres |
homebound ferry
thoughts zigzagging
with the terns | tempslibres |
the tall corn's shadow
stretched across the grave yard --
coming of Autumn | tempslibres |
eye to eye
with a flight of geese --
lingering heat | tempslibres |
cicada song
all through the twilight --
the moon also rises | tempslibres |
"strong wind
little snow --"
scraps and notes I've neglected | to throw away |
the tang of hot tar
carried on a breeze --
summer's end | tempslibres |
summer clouds --
not enough paint to hide
the graffiti | tempslibres |
rabbit and the hawk -
an awful truth stains
the fresh snow red | tempslibres |
medicine wheels
cairns of field stone appear
in the cold spring fog | tempslibres |
shoots of green grain-
old abandoned houses
stand along the highway | tempslibres |
through autumn's dusk
the computer wanes and hums
one hundred crows | tempslibres |
autumn deepens
we gather the few
remaining seeds | tempslibres |
an aroma
of green walnuts
summer dusk | tempslibres |
100 degree heat
country-western music
from the asian bar | tempslibres |
reaching
for a new found warmth
sweet rhubarb cake | tempslibres |
she's found the gate
in the wall of willows
sunlight of spring | tempslibres |
distant voices
a thin crust of ice
lingers on snow | tempslibres |
long ago
I threw your letters away
footprints in snow | tempslibres |
afraid of a boy
with an old man's eyes
needles of frost | tempslibres |
the best lies
have the fewest details
cold half-moon | tempslibres |
dull in a crescent's light
a canoe rests on the roof
autumn flood | tempslibres |
a few leaves remain
at the ends of the branch
a brittle moon | tempslibres |
sunflower
the day passing
slowly | tempslibres |
August moon
countless raindrops to measure
the length of the day | tempslibres |
moon phase
the welfare check
comes on the fifth | tempslibres |
rose petals
fallen on bare earth
evening rain | tempslibres |
the wasp
trapped between panes of glass
first spring light | tempslibres |
a hazy moon
floats in my cup
white sake | tempslibres |
temperature rising
thunderstorms and traffic noise
through the north window | tempslibres |
homeless
pushing a cart along
Commerce Avenue | tempslibres |
a line of coal cars
viewed from the railroad bridge
returning chill | tempslibres |
icicles melting
another drunk pisses
in my alley | tempslibres |
taking a bite
from a bitter orange
january thaw | tempslibres |
christmas night
the little corner store
last to close | tempslibres |
evening thunder
a homeless man
comforts his dog | tempslibres |
city sunrise
these old buildings
cast long shadows | tempslibres |
what day is this?
the metronome gathers dust
in the corner | tempslibres |
4th of July
hotter than
a firecracker | tempslibres |
no work today
a carpenter ant wanders
aimlessly | tempslibres |
garage sale
customers discuss
philosophy | tempslibres |
garage sale
'tales of power'
for half price | tempslibres |
taiko drummers
listening to silence
between the beats | tempslibres |
"no moon
no stars
" | just dull light from the city |
lost
on wildwood road
water lilies directionless | tempslibres |
suddenly
the toads go quiet
rain begins | tempslibres |
long dry grass
bristles underfoot
iced tea | tempslibres |
firecrackers
far off in the distance
pepper on my tongue | tempslibres |
between the drone
of lawnmowers
a scent of rain | tempslibres |
returning chill
dissonate melodies
from the ice cream truck | tempslibres |
waiting for the moon
before departing
ducks on the roof | tempslibres |
the park's spring
overflowing with sun -
home from night shift | tempslibres |
night shift - still
I put on some make up
to lighten my darkness | tempslibres |
green rimmed eye -
a glimmer of youth buried
in the fading iris | tempslibres |
muddy grave -
the rich scent of roses
so red | tempslibres |
full moon -
the bride tells me
it was forced | tempslibres |
fridge magnet -
snack after snack
wasting away | tempslibres |
advanced Parkinsonism
she wipes his dribbling saliva
remembers his kisses | tempslibres |
half-moon
first day of the sales
in Oxford Street | tempslibres |
gale force wind
dandelion seeds
in ocean depth | tempslibres |
old barn --
the swallows' nests
long abandonned | tempslibres |
Eid's sale
the Sikh shopkeeper
opens later than usual | tempslibres |
so round the moon
this end of July the caesarian section
of the Green Cafe's landlady | tempslibres |
wild Foehn
another murder
goes unsolved | tempslibres |
mango flavoured tea
in a silver tin - departing guests
linger a while | tempslibres |
"oh moon
moon"
above so much powdery snow | father is still ill |
a McDo box
floats towards the fountain
insect on board | tempslibres |
first snow
the asylum seeker
thoughts on the land | tempslibres |
moon of the rains ~
even longer the days
still so dark | tempslibres |
checking dividends
on the cashpoint screen
to and fro...an ant | tempslibres |
"roaches
cockroaches"
heroins and cracks | in pavements and minds |
a narrow boat
slowly along the canal
the moon | tempslibres |
Remembrance Day-
even the traffic
pauses for 2 minutes | tempslibres |
21-gun salute-
mortar fire echoes
in his eyes | tempslibres |
dignified march-
veterans and peacekeepers
pass the applause | tempslibres |
morning commute-
headlights fade
in the whiteout | tempslibres |
How thin the moon!
the scent of lilacs
grows fainter... | tempslibres |
divorce hearing
we talk about
the rain | tempslibres |
daybreak
the train graffiti drips
autumn dew | tempslibres |
the slow drift...
sunbeam across
an empty room | tempslibres |
in her eyes
the end our date
the moon | tempslibres |
in the lap
of a stone Buddha
fresh snow | tempslibres |
picking up his toys
still in my funeral clothes
the very last time | tempslibres |
solitary walk -
at nightfall the flash
of distant fireworks | tempslibres |
stroke of midnight
the blast of foghorns
along the coast | tempslibres |
after the rain
I check the growth
of each tulip | tempslibres |
Sunday morning
smells of French toast
and cinnamon... | tempslibres |
mother-in-law's face
on the biggest pumpkin
harvest moon -- | tempslibres |
untwisting
the rose bud
spring rain | tempslibres |
winter night—
moving the bookmark
to another book | tempslibres |
