Grandmother‘s garden

wiping the damp mosses

from her sand-stone seats.

Too far to reach

my son‘s loose shoe laces

in the escalator‘s teeth.

Girl‘s night out…

our lay-in morning

with her wine and smoky breath.

Mouse in the corn

some scarecrow shade

under the old girl‘s dress.

Lightning

choking the howl

from the dog‘s collar.

Morning rush

the lift operator‘s cough

for the pretty girl.

In the jade Buddha

almost a heartbeat…

almost heard.

Leaving the butterfly

to fumble in the web…

Sunday walk.

Home renovations

a child‘s growth-marks

found in fading chalk.

Little league soccer

beside his mother

the father‘s urgent voice.
