behind the clouds
no brighter than a moon
the white sun
in a ziploc bag a sparrow
waits to be buried
glare from
the setting sun
blocks out
the longs ads on
the side of the bus
only a test
the clouds unfurl
reconnoiter
we exchange apples
and then eat them
the water in the jar
trembles indefinitely
on the surface
the photographs
lie to me again
that mosquito
that got away
on the shelf
in the dust
his body still
the dried leaves
move among
the oblivious pedestrians
bats who are
lost in the daylight
the back of my hand
more distinct than her face
the candlelight
jerks around in bluish
circles on the ceiling
not the color green
the spinach stains the water
a memory of
intermittent sickness
translucent then wavering
I assemble a structure
of possible apologies
the sidewalk
reeks of rain
the way weeds inhabit cracks
it travels over
the reflection of the kitchen light
on a steam opaque window
a ladybug
lost in the center of winter
these are just great!
mutantcy of all things, apprehended. much pleasure in reading these.
