to bed
before
the stars

In The House With Her Mouth

housefly flying
and our dog
trying to catch it

Rolling

almost summer –
she puts a dog seat on
her bicycle

Sol

so dang warm –
in the shade of the house
tall grass

Not My Place

storm clouds
rolling all angry or –
maybe they’re happy

Well Yeah

longer days –
awake before his head
leaves the pillow

Calling

this gnat’s life
devoted to exploring
my sandwich

Lament

alone in
the morning darkness
a train horn
