Flight by Morning; Flight by Night

cloud purse suspended
hangs pink-purple for giant's
extending cupped hands

Shrill?

that is what normal
people do: write prompt thank-you
notes for gift received

Crusted Over

where each look appears
sinister. sub-zero temps
freeze paranoia

Insomnia #2

Did  cavewomen have
insomnia? Scratching glyphs
while fires sputtered?

Engagement

ring slipped on finger
clarity of future bright
long burn excitement

Walking

smoothie on the right
coffee on the left; working
sly woman's holster

Longing

a call to nature
goes unanswered, powerless
to bring along spring

Distance

words across cables
minutes tick by; love stretches
longly over time

Untitled

annual hand turns
over December's spent soil
tilling new years seeds

Post Christmas 2012

winter encloses
gray blurs over the city
sleep sticks in my eyes

Pre-winter Dec 21

balmy fall delight
speculate climate change
plant palm trees northly

Untitled

contentment settles
over the body like a
handstitched quilt

Literary Downer

book apocalypse
stacks, shelves of abandoned tomes
paper extinction

Sunday Warning

peregrine soars and
stares upon its perch. omen
quite unsettling.

Bedhead

someone understands
my own view of my own hair
sunshine when I wake

September Heirlooms

bounty gifted from
friends and bosses; tomatoes -
green, rosy, golden

Urban Living #1

pizza grease can be
fusty, slopped on car windshield
car wash profusely

Winter's Wrath (Where 'Wrath' is a Bit Overwrought)

Winter indulgence
Results in a small tum-tum
Now time to diet

Running the stairs

Fifth story fake eye-
lashes. Flitting to and fro
Amongst dust bunnies.

Untitled

Winter's dryness irks
without cold and snow to wrap
distraction around
