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

Scattered
Scattered on the street, /
reflected in the car door, /
curled oak leaves and light.

Thief
Beside the street, /
in a flowering Eden /
a snake jerked up Iris.

Nave
Above the still street /
the nave of empty limbs /
long for leaves’ hymns.

Homeless
Sweet, sickly scent — /
pine trees piled in the street, /
homeless from holidays.

Street seen
I wore shadows.
She wore light.
We met in the street.
The breeze played at painting us together.
The sun declined to stay.
For a moment,
As the light faded,
raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,
We were as one.

Limn
Street light and shadows, /
the evening limns the ramp, /
silent and waiting.

Wind
Wind blows up my street /
and love is but a scoundrel /
pushing me like leaves.
