summer air
spreads
my lover's ashes

guns down
fist up
craig & debo

living dream
once looser on mother
the gown hugs my hips

the number i once called
now
a steady dial tone

cautious steps
in the dead of night . . .
but she knows

the big bad wolf
not so tough now
bullied

on a park bench
a small child
sings to a bird

police shoot
. . . brown skin
mother weeps

pavement night—
fuzzy dice
in the backseat

just
your friendly neighborhood
Spiderman

late night
my eyelids grow heavy
swerve

not done, red eye
paper scatters
away from the light

s w o o s h
the crack of the bat
game tied

engines revving
green light in
3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

first one
at the field
last one picked

driver door ajar—
no one knows where
the driver is

the garden
she waters
new life

the house where i was raised
unaccompanied
nothing but memories

icy morning
car warming up
blurry vision

ranaway from
on this cold winter night
she battles depression

clown cycles
pins swirl
wall

one chain
two necks
slavery

howling forest
the moon watching over her
protect me

she walks away
bus coming
crossed fingers

project X
alcohol poisoning
ginger ale

shatter the glass
world within
cracked front steps

the lone duck
stares at me
alone
