golden locust buds in the cold rain on graduation day |
balcony on Capri bats dart for cigarette butts thrown from above |
ten minutes of dawn black bass leap forgetting the sky |

bare wet branches reflect red neon light - stolen corvette found |
midday sun brighter through the overturned glass with a fly caught beneath |
| shadows of branchlets echoing capillaries trace her face |
blazing sun the fly caught beneath a wine glass first published in The Heron's Nest |
smell of diesel half-moon sets behind the pines |
autumn rain the bum with a sign "this IS my job!" |
wildflowers gone to seed long shadows dwell on the fallen concrete stair |
spider spins it's web in silhouette by twilight a small dim star |
