the road

comes abruptly

out of the mist

1991

the clouds

collide no one is

hurt

1991

young shoots

follow the sun

across the window

1991

links of the chain pulled taut into the darkness

too late for

the photos to ask

for a chair

worms infiltrate

the patio and dry

out, blow away

Though his bark cannot be lost,

Yet it shall be tempest-tost.

plums

I won’t

die

a few 24 hour romances

a couple of fizzled adventures

a long term conversation with hints

the same train comes through town

a failed proposition

I miss your feet in bed

bends but don’t

break the corner is

the Devil
