bleeding
too much
makes words
run dry
—february 21
2
long night
beyond the window
someone laughs
3
i will always
remember how you
misspelled me
4
overpass wall
stretching white and clean
past my front door
online a neighbor froths
about the graffiti
5
reluctantly
contemplating showers—
not wanting
to miss the sun
6
stale tea,
worry not
thou art
still drinkable
—february 23
7
if human eyes
needed no rest
I would devour
all the world’s stories
8
neighbor’s sneeze
louder than mine
worn-out weather stripping
9
the jittery impatience
of having things to do
and not doing them
—february 24
10
dark oaks
wave their fingers at
wispy sky
11
silent afternoon
the faintly shining streets
a surprise
—february 25
