Looking
Looking backward /
No one remembers the rain /
Only the hammers.

“One of these days”
One of these days
Oh tree, my tree,
Please hide me.
I want to stay
Away today.
I don’t want work
Nor stupid jerks
To come my way.
I want to be
By my little tree
And fill my my days
With poetry.
Oh tree, little tree
Stand by me.
Please, please
Hide me.

Cat dance
Cats in the front yard: /
one leads with a left jab. /
The other rope-a-dopes.

“Spring shadow”
Spring shadow
Frost etches brown leaves /
Clinging to the young oak tree. /
Ice shadows blue spring.

Eleven stories
Eleven stories high /
Clouds become floating neighbors /
Winking through the slats.

Photo finish Friday: “Dismantling”
Dismantling
Dismantling the tree: /
ornaments, lights, memories. /
Packing the past. /
No music to comfort me. /
Watch what the sock monkey sees.
