Tall Buildings

waxing moon --
never quite still
this heated air





wind from the south --
 a bicyclist in black
waits for the train




heat at high noon --
offering the sparrow
a bit of my bread




windows rolled down --
all the tall buildings
left behind

Monday

 

 

 

 

morning glories -
a cup of yogurt like a pill

 

 

patches of fog -
can't sip my coffee on the S-curve





these tall buildings rise in the dark -
the geese depart all in a row





red leaves, yellow leaves, brittle all through -
warnings for frost in the Arrowhead
