she is a daisy
forever pressed in pages
of his memories
Month: January 2015
Layoffs
on her desk
lucky bamboo plants wither
in light of layoffs
Melt
heavy midday heat
lizards watch an old man
melt into a nap
Moccasins
soft moccasins —
soundlessly exploring
new paths of life
Porsche
beachside restaurant
seagulls squawk over food scraps
atop a porsche hood
Wedding
outdoor wedding
unwanted advances
of dark clouds
Dormant
decorative books –
stories lie dormant under
a layer of dust
Letter
unfolding herself
she slowly begins to read
the letter
Mallards
in a three-second
synchronized slide of a splash
two mallards arrive
Books
her fingers
nibbled the edges —
a new stack of books
(for alexis)
Fingers
my eyes remember
the taste of the sound of the
touch of your fingers
Ideas
seedpod ideas
drift in the breeze seeking to
lodge in fertile minds
Speckle
red noses speckle
a monochrome world of gray
frosty skies and fog
Slowly
slowly waking up
the sun unwraps the darkness
a lover’s warm kiss
Rain
her eyes the color
of rain and sky as seen from
an airplane window
Map
fold up the old map
with its soft, worn-out creases
find a new way
