Cemetery
dried wreaths becoming
the crow’s new nest.

Aunt’s visit
her hat feather’s bob-bobbing
in our conversation.

More than a child is
she carries
a bird from the road.

Sunset sinks
the windmill dry-retching
into the drought.

Following them down
on their frozen faces
the elevator jolt.

Without the others
what pleasure is in one
blue curling foaming wave.

Weight lifter
his tattoos strained
by the bar-bell.

Bus stop seat
a brown bite
in the red apple.

Autumn
raked leaves loosened
then the lizard’s eye.

Wife moving close…
near the end of the wedding
their nervous vows.
