who in hell wants to use this ugly sh*t???
not me, that's for sure!
i guess that means blogging done for the time being...
over and out

april shower
the mottled blue
of the cyclist's parka

april clouds
a boy immitates
a siren

returning cold
the desire
to google his name

chilly evening
a few crickets
keep chirping

dog days' end
the chill in the shade
of a church wall

writer's block
the sinking
of the Titanic

friday the 13th
a black cat
purrs in my lap

snow-capped mountain
each year more white
in my hair

something round
in the crow's beak . . .
waning moon

steady rain
the intermittent lake fills
with croaking

easter sleet
the sharpness
of horse radish

intermittent rain
the clatter of eggs boiling
in onion skins

pink moon
a pregnant woman's long stare
at The Last Supper

stranded kite
i barely passed
my physics class

drifting petals
the upward spiral
of two orange tips

(orange tip = a species of butterfly in the family pieridae)

the sakura are not yet in bloom but some local cherries, grown for fruit, are already shedding their petals. the scene portrayed here happend exactly as written

the deep pink
inside a peach blossom
her new pill kicks in

the advice
i didn't ask for —
spring rain

april fools'
i wake to the hills
bleached with snow
