Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Sunday afternoon
suckling quietly
into her babe.

Summer drought
washing the taste of ant
from the copper saucepans.

Home renovations
my husband discovering
another woman’s letters.

The apes chase, flea search
beg for nuts in the long game
to please behind bars.

stiletto heels
no escaping
in the tunnel.

dentist rooms
watching sunlight
fill the chairs.

raked leaves
daddy’s smoke
following me.

painting it morning
snow falls behind
the curtain lace.

first light
the ebb fondling
a wave at a time.

geese in the clouds
how effortless to leave
our summer’s end.
