Trucks speed
up and down the highway
Chakras

Trucks speed
up and down the highway
Kegel

Two trees fell
Into each other
across the creek

The thief paused
Motion-triggered
light

Moonlit pond
Brightened window on a
darkened street

Moonlit pond
Brightened window in a
darkened house

My city
Steel trees that stand
but never bend

My city
Glass eyes that stare
but never tear

Damp chill
Flag flutters
in the streetlight

Step by step
homeward in the blowing rain
Heartbeat

Knotted oaks
line the college quad
Racehorse

Gaps of light
in the cloudy sky; Listen
to the children

Winter crow
Ache in my
teeth
