bald eagle

from the ridgetop pines
a long sigh

geese heading north

a dog in the valley
adds its voice

red barberries

an awful Christmas carol
stuck in my head

second snow

my dreams these days
have other stars

blue mountains

the dragon in my rock
will never hatch

bright graffiti

through the autumn hills
this freight

driving home from the hospital

the boundless sky

an old man now

I take a look at myself:
so much more
than that rail-thin kid
who loved the blues

May Day

the engine block buried
in her garden

finding where the night goes

cave water

football stadium

pear trees advertising
for sex

Dutchman’s breeches

trembling in the breeze
of passing trucks
