    last days of summer —
    patches of gray
    in my five o’clock shadow

     

    Wednesday, August 29, 2007

    morning commute —
    a middle-aged woman
    keeps stepping on my shadow

     

    Monday, August 27, 2007

    lunar eclipse —
    she’s forgotten
    my name

     

    Sunday, August 26, 2007

    moon almost full
    a letter to my son
    in Boot Camp

     

    pink sky —
    a telephone recording
    asks for money

    dog days —
    I keep killing
    the same mosquito

    outdoor dining —
    an adorable puppy
    tied to a fence

    crowded train —
    the conductor’s
    tired apology

     

    Monday, August 20, 2007

    August chill —
    a freight train
    speeds by

     

    Monday, August 13, 2007

    waking from a deep sleep —
    the conductor collects
    all remaining tickets

     

    Wednesday, August 08, 2007

    for Josiah
    summer fog —
    the recruiter’s shiny new car
    pulls up to the house

     

    Friday, August 03, 2007

    thunder without rain —
    she brushes her hair
    as if nobody’s watching

     

    Wednesday, August 01, 2007

    gibbous moon —
    an empty pint of ice cream
    in the freezer

     

    August —
    the dog’s breath
    against my leg
