Broken Windshield

Pillars Cracking
straining under ancient impacts
scattered dust and rust flakes
snap
the cool winds pull
down a white washed slab.
through a windshield
of a Mercedes.

Derby Window

swing out of derby

climb that tree

take a photo

cool

in your jim morrison t-shirt

move on through

the pine tree forest

the spot where you saw

the severed deer leg

Sunday - we'll see you

sitting on a rough pew

on chapel point

looking out at the boys fishing

in the bay

turtles on a log

later two different boys

read and debate Mere Christianity

it wasn't all cult posters

and beer boxes in the window.

Fishin'

Cast aside -out -
on the lonely street
same street
as last time
only with a little
more need
dozens of phone calls
fishin'
with a different line.

A few...

A few last moments
of spring cling to the ridge
probably just some old pile
dumped over the side.
Even a few anvil clouds swing
around the side of the field.
They rise in hope
of a final Spring deluge.
Summer begins to hold sway
small but strong steps.

Waves of heat shimmer
above the roof.
