I've
practiced
not
kissing
...
alligators sun
landing strips for dragonflies
under Spanish moss
watching the pirogue drift by
...
Silent hawk hangs high
on a flat blue cloudless sky
Cicadas in the round
producing walls of sound
...
abhorring vacuums
empty nights are emptier
...
bright brittle bodies
fall away down to the ground
with brilliant colors
crazy patchwork quilting bee
...
On a perfect sunny day
through the open door
of a Chinese fish market
the eye of a sturgeon
...
