Moving Galleries

After twighlight,

At her desk,

She ponders the implications of signing in crayon..

Leonardo da Vinci wrote a list
of things he wanted to know:
the cause of tickling
the tongue of the woodpecker ...

you told me
you loved it when the trees changed their minds
and covered the ground
with a million veined post-it notes ...

We have velvet theories
about boys becoming men,
the mysteries of plumbing ... 

first frost --
the kindling takes
with a hiss

Bollywood ringtones
Brighten my film noire mornings
On suburban trains

Outside the Library,
the pigeons do to Redmond Barry
what Ned Kelly never could.
