1

telephone wire
robins hop
their own beat

2

crackling bonfire
she reaches into
the marshmallow bag

3

unraveled lunar moth
eager to catch up
the moon beams

4

echoed squawking
long white attire
swans duet

5

bathroom talk
we all
cry together

6

doja cat
we shake
ass

7

stepping outside
of my head
giving myself space

8

an unbuttoned silk shirt
arms raised up
a courtship dance

9

staring competition,
a blank sheet of paper
an artist

10

reading
my escape
from my own head

11

the cord unwinds
her muscles loosen:
she begins to dance

12

you’ll only grow
where there’s sunshine
go

13

bubble gum in a dish
fairness
in a kid’s world

14

one more sip
               look who’s here
two more sips

15

letting go
I can’t help
but giggle

16

streetlight buzzing
the air is thick
my mind wandering at midnight

17

footprints
clues
on the hood of the car

18

liquid burning
I finally
let myself cry

19

bouncy deck
one too many
people

20

heels on
passing by new faces
slay

21

snapping my fingers
without looking
mousetrap

22

red cloak
as tasty as the girl
wolf belly

23

bursting random squawks
throughout my day
I am song

24

steamed buns
I trust
their advice

25

little white lies
so i can hibernate
with you

26

tongues dancing
being wanted
I like that feeling

27

locked in the present
        moment
with you

28

above the highway roar
a chickadee 
bleats

29

crowded supermarket
a boy jumps from
behind the toilet paper

30

closing the gap
to survive
venus fly trap

31

snoring old pug
what will I do
when you leave

32

onion grass
I know you with
my eyes closed

33

bedroom curtain flutters
your spring breeze
perfume

34

porch night
she takes
her turn

35

april breeze
we share
a blanket

36

cracks in the wood
like wrinkles on skin
years of stories

37

grey-red fox
ignored by all
tire imprint

38

streetlight
spotlight
for the car

39

running the wheel
one last time
rest easy

40

crippled leg
trotting along
cocking the shotgun

41

twisting your words
now we both
can’t see straight

42

new moon
you turn
your back

43

the big giant
isn’t that scary
after belly rubs

44

grazing meadow
a flock a geese
visit the sheep

45

floating autumn leaf
apple cider cooks
in grandma’s pot

46

grey ocean sky
moss clings
to the fallen tree

47

specks of dust floating
I close my eyes
and they’re gone

48

Church bells ringing
swarms of locust
consume my thoughts

49

he launches his floppy hair
and bites his lip
why am I smiling?

50

searching or maybe concocting
for something wrong with him
a twinkle in my eye

51

sun beams
I want
to bask in the glow

52

under my waterfall
there’s a hidden message
focus on me

53

yelling out
these queens
don’t give a shit

54

rickety bridge
how many muddy shoes
have crossed your path?

55

my 21st birthday
ugh, an ice cube
on a cold day

56

soft cloudy sky
my soul sinks
to the kingdom below

57

empty desk
I wish I’d known
what troubled you

58

sinking
into the couch
lost change

59

dull thud
the flightless bird
pushed from the nest

60

the loneliness
of a cat left alone
in the window

61

she looks over her shoulder
new and old
sleeping side by side

62

the sun shines
somewhere
baking a corpse

63

wishing
I could save you
     . . . you don’t want me to.
