Another day
And soon, I'll be on my way
To a job that I hate
But I cannot be late
...
Bought a bird; named him Flip.

At twilight
On a honeysuckle firefly night
Two southern widows are rocking on front porch chairs
Together but alone with their private thoughts and wistful stares
...
Cadmium air
Gray wash sky
Watercolor moon
Opaque smudge on the darkening canvas of approaching night
...
Tonight the High Plains are nothing but darkness. I will light them with the candles of my dreams.

Crape Myrtle hot pink
Breasts leak with late summer rain
On my upturned face
...
Late autumn wind
Whispering friend
You speak to my heart
Again and again
...
At a quarter past two
Moonlight so blue
Illumines her face
In slumbering grace
...
She looks at me from across the room, smiles, and looks away again. And then, it's business as usual for her. But my heart, it lifts and sinks. Like a curtain on the breeze. It lifts and sinks again and again.

She drops to her knees
And nobody sees
Unless there's a God
In the heavenlies
