summer's end
a racehorse runs behind its shadow

Nagasaki
the vapors of people
glaze on the dome

I’m trying; God knows I’m trying.

I’m bankrupt! I have “writer’s block”. I’m reclusive because I can’t get a job interview and just keep looking on the net. So, to cheer me up I thought that I would share some oldies. I hope you like them; I did:

dusk—
the light goes out
with the tide

evening shower
the cricket chirps once

fishing village
the bow lanterns fade
in the dawn

river dusk
a moth follows the light

afternoon heat
the mountain's shadow spreads
on the water

summer foot bridge
a water rat sniffs near my shadow

Wall Street Churchyard
worms pass through crabapple petals

Independence
the smell of the night sky

Walking down the tree-lined street to the unemployment office in Hammonton, I think about what I will do when the checks run out.

sun bright sidewalk
a dead opossum’s litter on its nipples

summer solstice
the dark line in the arm's bend

summer solstice
the fruit bowl’s long shadow
ends at the fly

employment line
the mosquito’s head lowers
to the wrist

desert lightning
the rattlesnake between the rocks
