When I was young I

saw only the wonder of

Since dawn, the sad rain

leaves its depressing stain on

all that it touches.

You tell me these things

that hurts; it is the manner

in which it is lost.

Hosting a party

and we’re quite out of practice;

Jazz quartet

 

Sounds echo around;

a great beat as feet shuffle

past from shop to shop.

Up on Brandon Hill

the lazy streetwise squirrels

mug folk for vittels.

Jack came calling last

night; sugar-crystal blanket

transforms the garden.

A bang and a yowl;

my heart in my mouth. The black
