late night in the yard
a fawn cries out, bobcat shrieks
I go back indoors

2017
eater of bad dreams
chaser of nightmares
cat sleeps by my head
2016
cat at a window
watching shadows of robins
glide on the wet grass
2015
true americans
eager to work in the fields
who needs immigrants

2014
I read of old wars
knowing how they ended
can’t stand any news
2013
squirrel grips a loquat
as if in thankful prayer
another springtime
2012
too bright for my eyes
a lantern hanging high
full rose moon burning
2011
a praying mantis
rubbing tiny prayer beads
snoring in the pew
2010
perched on the railing
she looks down at the bay
traffic rushes by
2009
late evening barking
from across the street—
shadows passing by
2008
around her gravestone
from flower to flower
butterflies dancing
2007
neighbors see my yard
as the weed apocalypse
my deer pavilion

2006
a long text message
declaring her love for me—
who the hell is she
2005
a lost galaxy
wanders into my garden
apricots blossom
2004
I’m struggling with socks
she’s painting the house— married
to wonder woman
