rocking train
an old man cradles
a dented thermos
closing time the door propped open

hot flash –
I end up
with all the covers

roundabout –
I get off
where I got on

an old argument…
scraping the burned rice
out of the pot
Frogpond 31.2, Spring/Summer 2008
evensong if I believed I’d go to hell
Frogpond 36.3, Autumn 2013
not wanting to live
forever
hoping for another day
Modern Haiku 42.2, Summer 2011
getting older the goal getting older still

canned Guinness…
contemplating the end

paper weight
so many words
slip away
yoga’s benefits –
I’m in no position
to comment
new birth certificate nothing's changed
plastic surgeon
the laminated hours
taped to the door
growing old –
a little extra bleach
in the whites
selling old cookbooks
for every stain
I cook up a story
one-day butoh workshop
learning to move slowly
in a hurry
soft porn
too much butter
on the popcorn
Tour de France I crash on the sofa
tying my shoes
lately the ground
seems so low
