Breathless heat

all the night tossed

dream to dream

Rolling on home

eyes closed in the train seats

with the moon

Old man‘s books

his pages turned

to paper lice

Cocooned

the stones of the stream

becoming ice

All day alone

next door

their sunflower nods and nods

Interstate bus – –

the city lights pour

into puddles

Novice nun

confessing

her sins have run out

Laurel‘s moved in – –

now hers are the wet prints

from the shower screen

Harvest moon

the tom cats frozen

with snarls

The weekend‘s soaking…

her suds for a blanket

her bath for a bed
