Plunger power
New Scepter; rein in /
All that overflows like sin. /
Flush fifth, once again.

“Shadows and colors”
Shadows and colors
Sunlight sits on cap /
Lying in quiet repose /
Waiting to turn heads.

“Contemplate”
Contemplate
The metal cock
And the small flower
Stood by the window
For hours and hours.
The cock could not crow.
The flower could not dine.
Still, very still, they had a good time.
The sunlight filtered through
The kitchen window stained glass.
They stood there in relief
As each hour passed.
Sadly, one day, the small orchid
Will be gone
And only the metal crow
Will silently carry on.

“Sometimes”
Sometimes
Sometimes, you beat the /
Tire with the typewriter to /
Get the words to come.

“Key”
Key
Ideas clattered /
Words against the emptiness /
Beating back decline.

“Ice moment”
Ice moment
Winter is not done./
Reaching out, a cold great aunt’s touch /
With soft glove missing.

“Box carred in”
Box carred in
Freight train before me. /
White car blocking my behind. /
Road to nowhere now.

“Light”
Light
Before the windows /
Shines the ceiling lamp, hanging /
Empty and yet full.
