sounds of heavy rain
refrigerator is hushed
I can hear my thoughts

struts and shocks are shot
on our old sturdy Camry
wife wants a new car
with no dashboard cassette deck
for my Eagles collection

a woman falls down
entangled by five shrill dogs
the new dog walker

in “V” formation
my cats run interference
till I reach the fridge

drop by drop by drop
that bamboo pail grows fuller
bangs on a boulder
a gunshot scaring away
deer feasting in the garden

533
clockwork of water
the bamboo vessel swings down
strikes a drum of stone

532
swallowed by tall grass
sign posts of a lonely road
same, my memories

beacon of spring
woman in a day-glo dress
waits for her latte

our future came then
Dial up 300 Baud
cat screams in the surf

slate sky, empty sails
stuck in the horse latitudes
days of no motion

528/s
bull frogs unperturbed
a bottle swigging poet
plunges in their pond

last day of boot camp
surprised to see fresh recruits
run by in a herd

Fallen
fallen leaves land among stones barely a sound

news crews wait above
she’s up for her cameo
spring coming early

hummingbirds harangue
pheasants on weight loss
beat wings faster! faster!
