My door open, but
the rooms are empty, thoughts like
forgotten relics.

Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments -
fragile, out of reach.

Flat mapped names turn in-
to forested hills, roads wind
towards adventure.

“Let’s go to the beach!”
One kid, online, shrugs as the
other keeps texting.

“In a typical week, only 6 percent of children ages nine to thirteen play outside on their own.”
from The Option of Urbanism: Investing in a New American Dream by Christopher B. Leinberger

Rumbles of thunder
promise that soon fat raindrops
will bring refreshment.

Formally over
twelve years of learning to look
good on this one night.

Deciding who to
take like negotiating
Mideast peace treaty.

The play was about
them. His unrequited love
her indifference.

He sent sensitive
documents to a stranger
thinking it was me.

All around it, the
town is dead. Pity the poor
taken investors.

She curls around the
baby like a spiral shell
protecting its snail.

An unexpected
crocus emerges, smiling
from a brown leaf pile.

Florida is the
cheese at the end of the maze
known as air travel.

From a Revealing
start to this auspicious point -
my life in short form.

Slanting through speckled
panes, turning cobwebs into
faerie gossamer.

Muddy quads, walls bare
of ivy still inspire awe.
Can we get in?

Ph.D.s waitress
here, M.A.s babysit, ’cause
no one wants to leave.

Haiku, like bonsai,
needs care and pruning. A mind
unfocused kills both.

Incrementally
I clean unearthing a clear
space on the table.

Wan, pale, red-eyed, she’s
the poster wife of Wynette’s
song, “Stand By Your Man.”

Hats, gloves, put away
in optimism return
for winter’s last gasp.

Bergamot infused
leaves unfurl comfort. Problems
dissipate like steam.

From an estate sale -
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.

Like a jeweler
displaying gems on velvet
wealth gleams beyond reach
