2007
I see it
in the wall clock's
glass face
my own trembling
as the night train passes
Ribbons vol 3 no 4, winter 2007
cross country
in a vehicle packed
with suitcases
still plenty of room
for an argument or two
Tanka Splendor Awards 2007
candlelight calm
in the eyes of a pumpkin . . .
I listen to my son
tell me a story
I once told to him
Tanka Splendor Awards 2007
power out —
in the stack of bills
a Christmas card
addressed to a stranger
who lived here before me
Tanka Splendor Awards 2007
bedside visit . . .
changing the subject
with a smile
she draws one more
tube of my blood
Ribbons vol 3 no 1, spring 2007
I have no idea
if I'm awake or asleep —
the shadow
of a lingering train
screeches past my window
bottle rockets Issue 16, February 2007
after the fight . . .
together again
under a full moon
we scan the grass
for her wedding ring
bottle rockets Issue 16, February 2007
the rings
inside the phone booth
go unanswered
I try not to listen
to the voice inside my head
