    new moon —
    my pillow smells
    like a dog

    almost easter...
    the faceless mannequin wears
    a pretty pink dress

    for Kaji Aso, who is mentioned in this Boston Globe article:
    last days of Winter —
    the old dog catches
    the firefly

    Monday morning —
    the blinding glare
    of empty beer bottles

    a shopping cart full
    of last night’s party

    remembering Grandpa
    died at my age...
    stiff March wind

    spring snow —
    finches build a nest
    in a dried-out wreath

    first day of Spring —
    cigarette butts emerge
    from the snow pile

    March Madness —
    bright sunshine
    and snow

     

    Wednesday, March 15, 2006

    Ides of March —
    the persistent whining
    of my hard drive

    Ides of March —
    a hitchhiker
    standing in the snow

    Ides of March —
    charred remains
    of a house on the Rez

     

    Tuesday, March 14, 2006

    evening commute —
    a helicopter hovers
    over the moon

     

    Monday, March 13, 2006

    New England fog —
    an 18-wheeler
    eases into my lane

    New England fog —
    a State Trooper
    parked by the overpass

     

    Saturday, March 11, 2006

    March sunshine —
    a fly at the bottom
    of an empty wine bottle

    filing my taxes —
    dandelion seeds
    in the air

    moonless night —
    a stray dog
    barks at nothing

    crescent moon —
    did that woman really
    wink at me?

    a sudden gust —
    my daughter tells me
    she’s off the Pill

     

    Friday, March 03, 2006

    cold March day —
    my 14 year-old son
    and a broken PC

     

    snow in the forecast —
    an extra thumb tack
    in my tropical postcard

     

    Wednesday, March 01, 2006

    Ash Wednesday —
    on second thought
    make it a dark roast

    Ash Wednesday —
    the receptionist stares at me
    with her third eye

     

    mardi gras —
    a portable TV
    in the 9th Ward

    mardi gras —
    the second day
    of my diet

    mardi gras —
    the neighborhood stray
    answers to “Katrina”
