Tattered Tales
~~ 1 ~~
discarded boxes
sheltering homeless people
down by the river
~~ 2 ~~
journey into night—
your heart at the beginning
fluttering wildly
~~ 3 ~~
In a perfect world
there would be no mosquitoes,
neither rats nor lice.
~~ 4 ~~
an autumn morning—
walking a misty pathway
wet leaves underfoot
~~ 5 ~~
Everything depends
on rain, a red wheelbarrow
and some white chickens.
~~ 6 ~~
a long journey to
nowhere in particular
and then back again
~~ 7 ~~
Beyond the back fence
a world I have never seen
is waiting for me.
~~ 8 ~~
a short siesta
in the silence of her room—
insomniac’s dream
~~ 9 ~~
coffee for the guests
pouring again and again
until the last drop
~~ 10 ~~
rainy afternoon—
finding a place of refuge
in the library
~~ 11 ~~
finding a table
where we can talk till midnight
nursing our whisky
~~ 12 ~~
summer afternoon
the head of one sunflower
drooping toward the earth

Parched
Cholla cactus, White Tank Mountain Regional Park, Maricopa County, Arizona
parched and barren land
longing for misty showers
to settle the dust

Skating
Ice-skating rink, Plaza de Armas, Zacatecas, México
festive afternoon
round and round the skaters glide
church bells stun the air
~~ ~~ ~~
church bells stun the air
graceful skaters skimming ice
vibrantly alive
~~ ~~ ~~
vibrantly alive
relishing the glaring ice
round and round they go
~~ ~~ ~~
round and round they go
while misty-eyed grandparents
remember their youth
