leaving work at dusk
the sky clearly just finished
something incredible

thin trailer walls
just a minor membrane
from the wild outdoors




feuding neighbors
their reclining patio chairs
laughing and linking arms

from the backside
the heavily fortified house
opens to the creek




as if the moon
in it's fullness has pushed
wet weather aside

shadows stretched
to come with me
around the bend




quiet moonlight
falls on disarranged chairs and
scattered sake cups

after a hard day
in the rat race
people running on treadmills




streetlamp parade
takes the spook
out of a cold night




thankfully tonight
ive got extra traction from a
stone lodged in my sole




pink roses
under sodium glare
appear troubled




cottonwood fingers
naked fall branches
stretch




rocks and piles of mulch
and a path that leads nowhere
angel's garden




a cozy glow
invited me in
for sake




lizard brain sends me
under a stack of blankets
to get small and warm




meineke man
still cheerful after dark
perforated head
