one small cloud
hooked on the new moon’s horn
why won’t it let go?
Haiku
Dizzy
child on a swing
twirling herself dizzy
fallen leaves skitter by
So Little
time like a shadow
touches me in its passage
leaving so little
Swiss Cheese
sculptors have been
in the pantry the cheese
all Swiss now
She Told Him
she told him so often
take it easy on that curve
the wail of sirens
Gold Standard
the miner’s tin perk
cheering body and soul
a gold standard
One Last Time
in the twilight
Grandma folds her tired hands
one last time
Takeover
tiny yellow banners
flung up across our lawn
hostile takeover
Sound of a Saw
fly in the window
its constant buzz sawing
at my sanity
Cherries
cherries glisten
in a fruit stand basket
sampling with my eyes
