Sunlit lake
the salmon swallows bugs
from the hole it just made.

Fire works
shortening his chain
the guard dog’s fear.

Grandmother’s garden
wiping the damp mosses
from her sand-stone seats.

Clear cold light
on the kitchen table
only the passage of the moon.

Little league soccer
beside his mother
the father’s urgent voice.

midnight wind
fire light throbbing
over her crime novel.

between towns
the immense starlight
around, before us, ahead.

wall of fog ‘
in the whiskey bottle
my Saturday night.

pool lights
our skinny dipping
to the brightest middle.

drawn to a stone mouth
inch by inch
the well bucket moon.
