patting the baby's back
softer and softer
the rain

darkness
pressing on the house
my hands in warm dough

revolving door —
his cologne flirts
briefly with me

standing
for a better view
teh chipmunk

Father's Day —
the backseat ghost prefers
the jazz station

white roses that which is not said

old stories
new wrinkles
family reunion

another solstice
the lacy light
of my varicose veins

wind chimes
in someone else's garden
children's laughter

PRODUCT OF CANADA
my grocery cart
topped with snow

closing the gap
betwen you and me
frisbee

tarnished dream
up to my waist
in Sancho Panza

midday coyote
the hair along
our spines

before the funeral service
the peg holds
my overcoat

everyone everywhere a child becomes the high grass

geese in the sky
time to close
the family cottage

day moon
Thelma and Louise
hang in the air

day lilies —
dead heading
the not-so bright ones

puzzle night
dad's new girlfriend
not a fit
