sister sick again
Spring Break
in the ER

listening to your CD alone
I lied when I said
I didn’t like it

tossing and turning
against the tide—
midnight fisherman

nightlight shadows—
images appear
in my mind

top quarter champion

top half champion

bottom quarter champion

morning’s colors
blend into the afternoon…
a row of kaleidoscopes

the dance over
excitement lingers
kicking balloons down the hallways

another elephant ear
bumper car sparks
a warmer elephant ear

carnival lights
across the street
great grandma’s funeral

top half champion

champion

bottom half champion

switching the light on
I forgot . . .
power outage

tales from the adventure
I listen with—
milk and cookies

waking up
from a train nap
do I have everything?

music box ballerina
slowly spinning . . .
welcomes me home

top quarter champion

bottom half champion

bottom quarter champion

Autumn hike
on the trail…
cadaver dogs find a scent

in the deep of the woods
a snake
changes clothes

beneath the sky
an ant
inhales

flying through the clouds
my uncle
lives again
