Poem Category: Miscellaneous

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.

Stray dog

first to the school yard

at holiday‘s end.

Dawn opens…

the faintest sweep of willows

over the river mud.

Sculptor‘s nude

polishing her finger

it suddenly breaks.

Boy‘s tennis ball

the hallway vase

tipped to fall.

In the showroom car

the man sits for some time

then … then walks out.

Sepia photographs

each boy‘s war comes

with a different pose.

Home renovations

my husband discovering

another woman‘s letters.
