Moonlit pond
Brightened window on a
darkened street
Moonlit pond
Brightened window in a
darkened house
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
Gaunt deer
The empty church
in winter
Smokestack plumes
The lost
argument
Promises
Slow leak drips
beneath the kitchen sink
