snow globe
the barometer drops
at my approach
drop down menu
retelling my side of it
sans serif
cold snap
the puddle
installs a window
dappled sunlight
her red hair turning
on and off
diary
my cheap pen skips
a few details
Serengeti
still half in shadow
the sunlit zebra
gift wrap
the scissors glide
through snow flakes
performance review:
the supervisor misspells
"improvement"
MOMA
the rain in the painting
comes to a stop
Ford theater tour
the mirror John Wilkes Booth
straightened his tie in
blue denim sky
a contrail
unzipping it
door jamb
watching her

night lobby
the escalator
dredging up darkness
glass elevator
we descend with
the snowflakes
so dangerous
it’s locked in a cage
human heart
incessant barking
at the end of the leash
haiku dogma
laundry day
bleach for the clothes
I sinned in
minor key blues
sounding slightly better
slightly out of tune
surrounded by antlers
her forest dream
shudders to an end

your rain on my pane —
how easily you show me
what's below my dust
low tide —
all the pieces
I've abandoned
like succulent leaves
I preserve my better self
for worse days to come
late spring jogging —
the midge found its way
into my deadly eye
weeping willow —
another lonely soul
touches her old bark
black, no sugar
he says, turning to
his sweetheart
Saturday morning
she talks dirty to him —
the whole list of chores
rainy afternoon —
who builds the most
powerful weapon
