republican senators
mother of all
death panels
1167r
a firefly glows
brighter than the rest
I forget my jar
1166
old guys sigh
as summer uncloaks
the legs of women
1165
flash flood
of flashbacks
a face on the train
1164r
rent rises again
jenny wren and her kids
leave the bird house
1163
maudlin magpies
stumbling blue jays
red berry party
1162
warm dusk
over the pond
balls of glitter
1161r
an evening walk
wind chimes titter
I look for my phone
1160
in the brambles
her fawn is lost
she cries out
1159
wake me if I die
an elderly neighbor shouts
from his hammock
1158r
ashes to atoms
neutron to quark
karma’s the spark
1157
I pull weeds
they pull back
someday they’ll win
1156
crows do slapstick
cats stare incessantly
window shut tight
1155
bathing in gladness
of sunshine and leaves
We are fortune

1154r
sun’s not killing us
the torn, frayed umbrella
we never patch
