Fading
A shield to the rain,
oak leaf upturned on the street,
fading on asphalt.

Bright bones
Bright bones of light /
reflected on the asphalt: /
spoked hubcap art.

Reclaim
Up through the asphalt, /
the common sow thistle grows, /
reclaiming its home.

Lambent

Fall beach
A beach of asphalt. /
Waves of fallen autumn leaves. /
Lingering shadows.

Highway traffic churns: /
R-P-Ms, heat, wheel, anger. /
Asphalt is man’s hell.

There once was a writer from France /
who worked too hard to have her chance. /
Living down by the Seine /
Her friends thought her deranged, /
when insane across the Seine she did dance.

A writer walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, “A beer please, and one for the road.”

Road sign overhead reads: /
“EXPECT POTHOLES, USE CAUTION” /
Would prefer asphalt.
