sparrow's flicker the gradual cat

mountain path—
a wood grouse in love
won't let us pass

a back road
and a flat tire . . .
the peach blossoms

rotating my book
a beetle on the cover
persists due west

these drive-thru trees our little lives

opening day
the huge belly
of the third base coach                 

the sound
of tugboats bumping
against the tub

closer to heaven
the roofer
dropping nails

cut daisies
an inchworm's grip
on reality

euonymus berries
when is it exactly
dusk goes black
