Homecoming
canadian geese
on the way to warmer climes-
cloudless autumn sky
–
mottled light-
kits in their den
below the forest floor

Awake
I crawl into bed
too tired to fall asleep
reliving the day
–
a warm breeze-
awake in my bed
paralyzed
Wasted
nose against the glass
looking through my reflection
at life passing by
–
still water-
echos of
narcissus
Lightning
a cool cloudy night-
the horizon aglow with
fingers of lighting
–
dry lightning-
fire licks the walks
of the arroyo
Puppeteer
up above the fray
just outside of the spotlight
he tugs on the strings
–
a rumpled hat-
his marionette dances
for loose change
White
slices of the moon
slivered through the window blinds
drape across your back
–
snowy owl-
cold branches
in the dead of night
Sleep
your door left open-
looking back at you as I
close it behind me
–
moonlight-
your mobile
slowly winds down
Beach
seagulls hovering
wings outstretched and motionless
faced into the wind
–
sunrise-
beach sand in her
wind blown hair
Spring
this bitter old man
remnants of his acid breath
at last behind us
–
open windows-
daffodils
break the soil
Barns
blue moonlight drips through
holes in the tattered shingles
onto the barn floor
–
peeling red paint-
the barn door
hangs askew
