1. weather balloon
diffuse ripple
by the garden gate
dusty tulips
formal wear
the vendor assures
they know me
dense fog advisory
unpitted cherries smothered
in batter
unlit road sign
for an antique carousel
story city
pruning with
a house scissors
dreamcatcher
***
2. harm’s way
empty cockle . . .
down the beach wafts
smell of garlic
child of rape
takes after
the father
over classroom
teacher presides:
pain
swiss heritage:
through our old walls
stray rounds
bunting shelters
spots of dampness
on the cigarette
***
3. dead to rights
drainage ditch
a matted bird
by the tire
amber waves
preserved forever
a drowned worm
chestnuts still
carefully inventoried…
high definition
trip to commode
before perp walk
professional courtesy
below sea level
flag on the box
still reaches up
***
