voicemail —
the immediacy
of winter rain

wind chimes
the laughter of grandchildren
all moved away

highschool
trophy case —
her maiden name

holding our breaths
releasing them
humpbacks

Groundhog Day
motorcyclists see
their shadows

I sing the whole alphabet for her moonlight

the fine art
of pillow talk
spring peepers

laughing a little
as we make love
cherry blossoms

ridgeline breeze
his hands tracing
the watershed

she sows seeds sprouting freckles

his walking stick
when I need
to talk

wedding day sky
I borrow
something blue

unsaid words
the last wren
of the day

so long
since I was a reptile
morning sun

the ambulance
pulls away . . .
their immaculate lawn
