999
tea cup of soil
and kitty grass
land i will to you
998
grizzled lion
daydreams of the chase
gazelle chats him up
997
chance meeting
doesn’t recall me—
body count stat
996
tangerine peels
kleenex by my pillow
winter’s progress
995
in the fountain
buddha sits
attended by deer
994
aiming syllables
to pierce your heart
the sniper’s art
993 R
little shark fins
cruise rumpled bedclothes
cat ears
992 R
three rings begin
morning prayers
cat leaps out bell
991
posted around
the sugar bowl
beware of anteater
990 R
white almond petals
dance off branches
church bells
<inspired by Matsue Shigeyori (1596-1670)>
989
buddhists chanting
chairs bump– a whispered
goddamnit
988
oh what to watch
inaguration ceremonies
or zombies on a train
987
enough mugs
of hot black coffee
feel klingon again
986
what hillary learned
you cannot shame
the shameless
985
fly south, little guy
you can’t live
on sugar ice
984
wee rush of colors
above ice and snow
anna’s hummingbirds
(for Caroline Ketman)
983
fast-fwd sex scenes
need no reminders
long winter nights
982
high school girls
gaze in envy
my torn, faded jeans
981
splattered leaves
a palette of reds
crushed cinnabar
