starless night
I'll wait for you my love

Senryu

 

texting while driving
he wakes in the hospital
with only one leg

 

 

office fountain
the boy drops his nickel
and picks a quarter

 

 

lingering heat
the girl removes her new bra
to freedom

 

 

Facebook
the new public place
to bare yourself

 

 

blinded with tears
the secretary slips down
to her boss’ grave

 

 

sultry summer
the braless starlets cross
Hollywood and Vine

 

 

spring cleanup
she rips her dad’s photo
with his new young wife

 

 

bonsai plant
the artful way
of aging
