Anger is a stone /
clattering for attention, /
never finishing.

Do not donut
Oh, do not donut. /
Sprinkles or plain entice me. /
Homemade make it home.

Past present
beauty in the light
raging from long ago.

When
When I’m old, I’ll don /
a lavender sheet and stand /
in my cold decline.

Hand placement
My shifting hands say: /
See, speak, and hear no idea. /
Hands down, they lie.

A new day
Hang down; new day up. /
Daylight Savings Time rebuff. /
Eating im-possum-ble.

Grip
What has died reaches /
into what has yet to live. /
Holding and leaving.

Thieves
A thousand thieves may /
rip the jonquils from the ground /
but they can’t steal Spring.

Spring
You came unannounced. /
Arising quickly in March. /
Blooms and promises.

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