—his hat like a roof or road—
laughing in the sky
An orange lozenge
swallowed by the sea
again—slow summer sunset
Bright fang of a
moon
over a vanishing
shore—and now it’s night
*
A tree’s red tassels
against a grey summer sky—
home to many birds
An ordinary fool
with a pocket-watch
heart—napping sick at noon
Evening train—somber
woman exits with her
sonwho has the same face
*
Crescent moon, gull, plane—
all sharing the same blue sky!
Summer afternoon
Wind-blown clouds
race past
a phantom sliver of
moon—last light in the west
Moon dims and
brightens
as veils of clouds
wander byin mid-summer dusk
*
Two girls on the train
sit opposite each other
putting on make-up
Evening train—a man
standing in a wild
plaid shirtsmiling to himself
Alone on the train—
is everyone out
drinking?Briefcase and white shirt
*
Sunny afternoon—
flitting white
butterfly makesthe garden greener
A swirling white
pair
of butterflies
overhead—mating ritual?
A butterfly lands
on a sunny cobblestone—a bird’s lazy chirping
*
A shy smiling girl
sits alone on the
church steps—the six o’clock bells
Face in the mirror
just before bedtime—I smearcold cream on crow’s feet
Want to diddlydoo
but the cat’s
between my legs—what’s more delightful?
*
Morning train
station—
a fast-passing
panoplyclutching coffee cups
Elevated train
speeding through the
mist abovebroccoli tree tops
Hissing hydraulics
of the train in the station—
waiting to move on
.
