Little league soccer
beside his mother
the father’s urgent voice.

midnight wind
fire light throbbing
over her crime novel.

between towns
the immense starlight
around, before us, ahead.

wall of fog
in the whiskey bottle
my Saturday night.

pool lights
our skinny dipping
to the brightest middle.

drawn to a stone mouth
inch by inch
the well bucket moon.

home late
grabbing at my sleeve
the sharpest rose thorn.

in that moment
the well-water moon
shines back.

fizzing up the sand
toe to toe
the faintest surf.

The romances gone,
our surprise
in the book sale.
