Mantelpiece
new frames
the old faces.

Laurel’s moved in – –
now hers are the wet prints
from the shower screen.

Hitchhiker
a hint of story
in her highway tales.

His first school day
so alone
pruning her few bonsai.

Around the bay
an immense sunlight
expands the tide.

Memorial park
the weathered stones
of angels.

White water rapids
unable to delay
the urges in salmon.

Strawberries
melting
Laurel’s tongue.

Shooting star
I uncork an old shiraz
to let it first breathe.

Christmas alone
turning carols
on the radio off.
