beginning of summer
no more socks
the sound of flip flops

high heels click
bright lights flash
someone slips

running through the park
woodchips fly
scraped knee

slowly jogging
under a blue sky
red orchid

top quarter champion

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

hair flies in the wind—
first kiss

water glistening
white-nosed lifeguard
dives in

windy city
clear sky
she listens to the music

sunshine
—over my friend's grave
the wind blows a path

TOP half champion

CHAMPION
 

BOTTOM half champion

ligntning, thunder
and more rain
yellow boots at the front door

crayon covers the wall
she pouts

line going under
reeling it in
a smile on my face

along the shore
dusks settles in
a starfish

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

ring of salt
a slice of lime
margaritas our poison of choice

three dollar pitchers
laughter everywhere
karaoke night at LSB

the door slams
she sits on the bed
alone

night sky—
chimes blow as I sign
my eviction notice
