Wonder at the tallest structures of man
yet understand each disappears from view...
The world is alone without you;
no wine-sparkled eyes dance toward me...
She comes in the door her chores to resume
puts parcels down and removes her hijab...
I'm not one to say
I told you so . . . but I am...
I see the dormice
scurrying home...
Truth is whatever a person
relies on to act and live...
Recycling is
a salve for guilt at using...
61 is
- losing a half hour...
Darkness echoes cicadas,
tree frogs, bats & cats...
Three years after drought
small round pools populate park...
I have heard the city's silent song
in the way perfect strangers share...
I dropped into the dream
already in progress, for years...
