Laying on the dock
listening to the lapping water
below.
Snap. breaking twig on shore
behind trees.
Flickering red flame
only an instant.
Rocket of sparks soaring overhead like a shooting star.
Silver rain falling out of the darkness.

Paddle On
Rocking waves
tormenting my small boat.
Threatening to throw me over.
Paddle on
into the glowing sun.
Cool drips of water fall to my face.
Cove, straight ahead.
Water pushing.
Pulling
Wont let it overtake me.
Paddle on.
Sliding gently onto shore.

Neighbor
Sheet of ice blanketing the street.
He stood three feet short
in front of my house.
Hockey stick in hand
boots on his feet.
Come out and play.
Cloud of words forming in the cold still air.
The winter chill bit my face as I stepped out.
A smile grew
consuming his young face.
Stick in my hand.

"I Need You to Love Me" Barlow Girl
You have something you wish to tell
your eyes give it all away.
I know what I want you to say but I'm afraid
if it's not I might implode!
Should I say it first?
Whats on your mind hun? You can tell me.
I want to tell you, I'm not sure how.
You will understand if you read my lips.
Elephant shoes. Is it like olive juice?
What do my lips reveal?
You can see my hidden secret
my eyes give it all away.
I know what I want to say, please say it first.
Can't be the one to spill it all.
Relieve this torment.
Whats on your mind hun? You can tell me.
I want to tell you, I'm not sure how.
You will understand if you read my lips.
Elephant Shoes. Is it like olive juice?
What do my lips reveal.
Oh yes I understand, I love you too.
I've almost let it slip so many times.
Oh yes I understand, I love you too.
hmm.....

The Walk
Small round porthole
window, children spy.
Twisting, flaking bark.
Five stacked tires among junk pile.
Quait little log cabin amidst urban scape.
Peanut shells littering the ground like leaves in fall.
Sunflower chair turned to makeshift portapotty.
Lone leaf cartwheeling down center street.
Gaps, cracks illuminated with caution yellow.

Dinner Date
Blowsy Betty wearing a babushka babbled
of the beaucoup bandicoot burbleing burgoo
to her bruiser bohunk.

A Shattered Heart
Sitting alone
dressed in white.
Biuque of roses.
Sad somber
in the dirt.
