a duck waddles away
from the pond

says good morning
…to himself

at the ocean’s edge
honeymooners in the sun
build a sandcastle



quiet evening-
a spider walks its shadow
on the wall




without thought
until after
squashing the gypsy moth




in the attic
an old sleeping bag rolled
with childhood

high clouds-
the cows all grazing
one way



up close
to share a dirty joke
-his bad breath

outskirts of town-
the faded clown face
on the phone pole

a couple arguing…
with and against
the wind

the time I’ve spent looking
for her slipper
outweighs the cause-
lost love I’ve heard
requires such searching

he manhandles
the receipt
