the autumn leaves
losing light | tempslibres |
white dawn...

before the sun | tempslibres |

fresh snow
covers the old | tempslibres |

in my memory
something is lost | tempslibres |

finally revealed | tempslibres |

the greyness of dusk
without fireflies. | tempslibres |

the imprint of grass
in her thighs | tempslibres |
heat shimmer
the first blooming
railroad flowers | tempslibres |

the ballast stones | tempslibres |
endless stars...
the braille on the box
of sleeping pills | tempslibres |

the clock set deeper
into autumn | tempslibres |

alone with the cry
of a loon | tempslibres |
flood of moonlight ...

drip | drip" |
winter raindrops
along a strand of barbed wire --

in and out
of the confessional
winter light | tempslibres |
motel night
alone with the moans
of winter wind | tempslibres |
'I used to be ...'
at the corners of his mouth

on her body | tempslibres |

from star to star | tempslibres |
sourdough smell of age
the cold rain pattering
against motel windows | tempslibres |
blood-red earth
pattering on his coffin
winter rain | tempslibres |
long way home ...
windshield wipers clear
the silence between us | tempslibres |
the space
between etched names...
war cenotaph | tempslibres |
pinned butterfly ...
needle marks
on the girl’s left arm | tempslibres |
"""Now Hiring"""
flaps in the winter wind ...

and mine | tempslibres |

among mourners
this cloak of silence
between crows | tempslibres |
her laugh echoes
through the empty house
the sound of snow | tempslibres |
breezy morning
the scent of steamed buns
ends meditation | tempslibres |
filling the hour
between news of war
snowflakes | tempslibres |
writing haiku ...

with sunlight | tempslibres |

one year gone
on her side of the bed
winter moonlight | tempslibres |
a paper cut
from her dear john letter
Friday the 13th | tempslibres |

her face half revealed
in moonlight | tempslibres |
noonday heat
a white man staring at me
me staring back | tempslibres |
rose branches
weighed down with snow ...

another new grave
in winter mist

the smell
of summer heat ...
roadkill | tempslibres |
foreclosure sign
in its shadow
a dollhouse | tempslibres |
one by one
frogs make holes in the pond ...
starry night | tempslibres |
a butterfly
tattooed on her buttock
summer heat | tempslibres |
a new moon --
mother's letter heavy
with voices from the past | tempslibres |
alone by candlelight
thinking of that spring we met
and another spring… | tempslibres |
spicy chicken …
this impulse to ask
if she's married | tempslibres |

a cloud of crows hover
over stone angels | tempslibres |
