xmas with auntie
my childhood stutter
re-re-returns
2555
from sun and wind
from crickets lullabies
my mother has gone
2554
rain
sidewalk sketches
turn to rainbows
2553
sorry swatting you
next incarnation
Iβll buy you a beer
2552
an old derelict
calls out my nickname
from high school days
2551
jar of seashells
summerβs light
burning within
2550
chipmunk studies me
jots down random imagery
counts his syllables
2549
only old age
comes around my door
no one else visits
2548R
no bread crumbs, no baths
sparrows sigh
since you moved away
2547
I wake
incense of redwood and oaks
forest turns gray
2546
church bells bellow
flurries of almond blossoms
drifting
2544
take home all your toys
say goodbye to all our friends
those we leave behind
2543
late night cricket jam
footsteps of young people
headed home
2542
crickets join
the distant moan
of a freight train
2541
three legged sack race
forty years around the track
pursued by jackals
2540
gossip in the vents
old chatterbox house
all night whispering
2539
shedding season
swept up enough
knit three more cats
2538
at my kitchen door
a little sugar, please
procession of ants
2537
cherry branches
lay scattered below
elderly limbs
2536
tasting sweet
a sparrowβs name
dark eyed junco
