the many leaves
laugh
as the wind blows

3 p.m.
stomping through fall leaves
school kids

fire-breathing dragon  
wooden swords crash
against a tree

don't come out
wherever you are
goblins

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

grandmother's music box
the new baby
almost asleep

joining in
soft applause
the falling rain

loud night
turns into a quiet morning
headache

snowflakes
stick to distant lights
disco ball

TOP half champion

CHAMPION

BOTTOM half champion

helpless
a little mouse creeps
up on the cat's tail

fur matted
a body stiffens
in the mud

in darkness
seeking answers through a window
darkness

staring into a gaping
black abyss
television

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

moon hiding
a lonely lover
stands waiting

no moonlight
baseball-sized spider
hangs over my head

Valentine's Day
single chairs
for broken hearts

a passing train
and me—
a waste of people's time
