tombs

across the basement floor

ladybug shells









nightfall

tumbleweeds rollin' in

from the rail yard

crushed on my windshield

black and orange butterfly

where has summer gone









blossoms falling

on the path

goose shit

sunset

the sky awash

in waves of geese









thy neighbor's ass

beautiful succulent orbs

thou shalt not covet

heat wave

these April snowmen

barely dressed









smiling happily

diascarded jack-o-lantern

warm December day

old barn

blown clean thru

to the other side









five old lumps of coal

in our dead spring lawn

snowman forgotten

impatients dying

hospital courtyard









swan box empty

beside the silent mill

bridges of river mist
