Exam papers
out in the corridor
some hints of laughter.

Kindergarten asleep
just the beginnings
of crayoned art.

Stray dog
first to the school yard
at holiday’s end.

Your headlights split night
a little town of hamlets
with a bridge beyond.

silk kimonos
pausing lovers
the thinness of paper walls

past their eyes
dripping her lime bikini
up to her towel.

sea breeze
a wing filled
to raise the gull.

forest clearing
I come to a hand saw
dull with rust.

jazz trio
ice in our cocktails
melts in silence.

coconut beach
the holiday’s end
rushing toward me.
