photoshopping my wedding pictures winter solstice
tempslibres
after-party we blow out candles to hear the stars
tempslibres
her hips sway our debate on sex summer heat
tempslibres
the cold moon... I recycle a dream from my youth
tempslibres
night deepening the office secretary adjusts her low-cut top
tempslibres
divorce talk each sip of tea more bitter than the last
tempslibres
prairie... between heaven and earth an eagle
tempslibres
a fork in the trail the wind takes our old map
tempslibres
her nose print on the hospice window .. a patch of sunlight
tempslibres
snow on snow … the depth of night in this attic
tempslibres
Gaza at twilight… crying old tears at a new funeral
tempslibres
a crow’s cry ... the winter sky darkens into the prairie
tempslibres
a long line of cars behind the hearse migrating snow geese
tempslibres
between cries of neighbor's baby symphony no. 9
tempslibres
traveling far away in thought ... hospice window
tempslibres
harvest moon rising ... a tremble in the migrant's voice
tempslibres
therapy session: winter rain on the window deepens the silence
tempslibres
a white butterfly flitting through the stillness ... church grave yard
tempslibres
distant sirens over the border bridge a blood moon
tempslibres
a pigtailed girl outside the cancer center morning glories
tempslibres
her face in my whiisky the moon floats
tempslibres
one by one fireflies escape my glass jar... starry night
tempslibres
the rice song mother sang to me ... first spring rain
tempslibres
first glimpse of her mastectomy bra winter rose
tempslibres
hospice verandah ... a girl opens her mouth to spring rain
tempslibres
surge of the wind ... talk of war fading into silence
tempslibres
first kiss -- behind the bookshelf her scent lingers
tempslibres
blind date cobra tattoo rising from her cleavage
tempslibres
summer's end my footprints in the sand a little deeper
tempslibres
twilight moon -- a hole in the chestnut fills with stars
tempslibres
her black hair veils our praying hands ... hospice church at dusk
tempslibres
offshoring jobs... the last glow of sunset at the horizon
tempslibres
Brittle scent of a summer storm lightning's sillage
tempslibres
sound of a moth trapped in a paper lantern summer rain
tempslibres
oh blue-haired girl your stockings and Docs make me a little older
tempslibres
frozen again under soft spring snow concrete cracks
tempslibres
climbing the way her work heels hang off the steps
tempslibres
cold autumn wind in all the cracks eyes of barn cats
tempslibres
Urologist’s office- the framed photograph of the falls
tempslibres
the clatter of machines third shift
tempslibres
abandoned farmhouse- autumn twilight darkest in the empty windows
tempslibres
"off the trail " "on the trail
"
farm auction- fields filled with goldenrods and asters
tempslibres
spring frost -- the park cannon aimed at the church
tempslibres
sunny day a wasp tastes everyone's beer
tempslibres
withered roses-- a bald woman waits for the taxi
tempslibres
dusk-- the mason jar filled with fireflies
tempslibres
crashing waves- my thoughts move with the tide
tempslibres
house for sale the apricot tree in bloom as never before
tempslibres
northern lights steam rises from the coffee cup
tempslibres
cut into his arm a line for each day between Christmas and New Year
tempslibres
looking for something in the bottom of a cup the low autumn sun
tempslibres
a granita before the afternoon shift short shadows
tempslibres
two moons somewhere between ports she tells him it's over
tempslibres
lengthening shadows things best said in a letter
tempslibres
piercing stones all along the promenade cicadas and ringtones
tempslibres
too hot to shop wasps drinking from a town fountain
tempslibres
our parting kiss a mixture of salt and sweet peppers
tempslibres
October rain all through the night my kidney stone
tempslibres
the soldier looks back over his shoulder autumn grass
tempslibres
half-way home a pint of stout to keep out the cold
tempslibres
in from the cold just one sugar cube more in my coffee
tempslibres
drawn in by the smell of fast food and vinegar this october sun
tempslibres
first juice a lone wasp explores the apple press
tempslibres
first buttercup three lines of coke on the kitchen table
tempslibres
chrysanthamums the homeless girl pulls her baby closer
tempslibres
tube ride someone else's iPod is playing our tune
tempslibres
too hot to sleep i search for my son's footprint in the front drive
tempslibres
working late the sound of a small brown moth in the lampshade
tempslibres
hedgerow birds three boys share a spliff by the school gate
tempslibres
sunshine and snow the boys in the reserves watch the letterbox
tempslibres
needle exchange sharing a breakfast drink in Museum Square
tempslibres
mayflowers three small boys track down terrorists
tempslibres
boy's bedroom a blackbird's nest found deep in the lilac
tempslibres
teeth in a glass the nurse takes away his pot of blue hyacinths
tempslibres
chilled by spring winds schoolgirls sniffing body spray behind the gym
tempslibres
a lost child in a ward of iron lungs her daffodils
tempslibres
almost home the full moon between two houses
tempslibres
afternoon tea -- the old climbing rose somehow whiter
tempslibres
Eucharist pious women still weeping for Jesus
tempslibres
winter wonderland even the burnt out car looks beautiful
tempslibres
almost Christmas ~ thinking how best to reveal that dad beats mum
tempslibres
circle time she describes her mother finding a vein
tempslibres
sun rising suddenly the sumac bursts into flame
tempslibres
the moon not quite full but full enough
tempslibres
Wedding Day - in the bride's eyes the groom's smile
tempslibres
imagine a field of dandelion fluffs before the wind
tempslibres
midnight rain? now every minute "the grass
greening"
the cold cry of a magpie? first light of day
tempslibres
winter driving almost blinded by a sun-dog
tempslibres
sun's rise the voices of crows lift it higher
tempslibres
Canada Day this country and I aging together
tempslibres
ocean playground the way memories come and go with the tide
tempslibres
endless winter more soft snow as we await a new grandchild
tempslibres
under snow the same earth waiting waiting
tempslibres
tulips buried - the soft silence of April snow
tempslibres
from Hiroshima to Sendai . . . so much just gone
tempslibres
snowstorm too many flakes for haiku
tempslibres
lengthening days I turn the Christmas lights off
tempslibres
perseid shower the intake of her breath... another contraction
tempslibres
