Cat, no hat

One cat. One evening. /

No hat. No children. No rain. /

Alone in kitchen.

“Free floating radicals”

Free floating radicals

The clock floated free; /

the jack, the pawn, and the car /

left their roles behind.

Wings

Melting or hardened, /

Icarus learned too late: /

“Wings will weigh me down.”

“Over”

Over

Languid dog reclines, /

drooping like an old flower /

over the bed’s edge.
