old dog barking
back and forth
puppy next door

waiting at the door
home at last
my best friend
tower's flashing lights
mark the road home
foggy night

frozen pond
short cut
home

red rock walls climbing
to the sky
solitude
solitary leaf
blows across the schoolyard . . .
Christmas break
sitting on the floor
in pajamas
grandma brushing my hair
Thanksgiving prayer
older sister
squeezes my hand tightly

 

 

top half champion =  

champion =

 

bottom half champion =
alone in the city
speeding along an unknown path--
Yellow Cab
little eyes
nothing to say
on Santa's lap
we walk for hours
until we can no longer--
fireworks

across the room
he catches her eye
the butterfly flitters

 

 

 
  top quarter champion =  

bottom half champion =

 

bottom quarter champion =

 

 

 
harsh words
mom
goes to her room
needle in her arm
through the window I watch
a child on the floor

Superbowl Sunday
she closes his mouth
as he sleeps

sink full of soapy water
Thanksgiving dinner
over
