Waiter:
Please. Whisky. Neat and water back.
No where else to go, no one to call.
Now free from the work of the day
one can see most by bar light
when one sees so little.
We are for the dark.

Dearie
With only reverie
Had no need for a bee to make a prairie flower
With a tickled lyric she brought acoustic power

strawberries
our basket full:
kissing cousins
after
dusk
the sound of light rain
gypsy moths chewing
stomping my snow boots
on your back porch
the frozen doorbell
the nurse says "okay" ––
first visitor after hours
tells a knock-knock joke
candle stump
and cold dinner
stood up… again
late
dinner guest
bringing news from the Interstate
my cell phone ringing
releasing that raccoon
trapped in our trash can:
ingrate
