Poem Category: Miscellaneous

the gap in her smile
one more bedside story
before the tooth fairy .

one wind pile
after another
of crinkling leaves.

wind whispers
in the stone well-water
glimmer of the moon.

a floating mist
first light spreads into
the whiteness.

the blue lakes stretch
to nothing ‘
then the wild geese returning.

poker night wins
leaving the city
as it wakes.

moon glow
with Venus nearby
guiding the lover’s touch.

In the scheme of things
great shading trees know their worth
to breathe out man’s breath.

Morning chill
a dog barking a hole
into Sunday.

Job interview
returning home
in and out of shadows.
