the hypnotist
describes her technique
sound of the stream
Van Natta’s dam
water flowing by
the old hydro plant…

the wind in the trees
reminds me
that what once was
so important
just passes by
delivery truck
in the good old days
permanently parked

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace
the way
a tree will absorb
a thing

a few floors down
in another building
someone else looks out
hotel window-
a still life below
ever changing…
drought-
ants disappearing
into cracked earth

lamb’s ear
softening
the quarry
behind the fence
slipping out
of an old skin

he double checks
the coin return-
emptiness lingers
a lonely reminder
stretched on a railroad tie
-snake skin
