his smile walked away
his face was left
just standing there
life
Sparks
pay close attention
to the sparks behind the curtains
of another’s eyes
Lick
life is like spilt wine
you can’t catch it in your hands
but you can lick it off
(for carolyn)
Silvery
silvery chin hairs
betraying the youth
of men and dogs
Waves
in the crash
of cool waves
life warms
Sliding
tires sliding sideways
across the icy highway
sudden slow motion
