Swamp sunflowers

Swamp sunflowers /

bloom in the last warm days /

before fall embraces.

“Cosby, 2016”

Cosby, 2016

Rebel cock, /

down the block /

deep in lust entwined. /

Solidly made /

of the finest grade /

of aluminum they could find. /

Eight feet tall /

molded all /

and in full sun can blind. /

The cock there /

in the open air /

signalling manhood ill defined. /

Oh, rebel cock /

with rebel look locked /

all to us remind /

That out there /

out there somewhere /

is a cock history left behind.

“Hidden”

Hidden

In an old garden, /

hidden in the rough moment, /

grace and beauty.

Play

Light and shadow /

play across white petals, /

a backdrop for fall.

“Wave”

Wave

Wave of the hand. /

Easy out a car window. /

Wet streets and tears.

Multicolored van, /

One small jump for friends. /

One last leap for summer fun. /

High above, stars wait.

Up in the blue sky /

Four circles, then bye.
