a few grains of sugar at the edge of the fire slowly smoking

2006

empty nut shells blown by a warm wind a rag that smells of gasoline

2006

rain so faint we only see the rings where it falls in the puddles

2006

the bank teller tells me what it means when there’s a ring around the moon

2006

a bit of the praying mantis in her soldier’s smile

2006

floating in the pool of leaking rain water an ant standing on a moth
