first frost --
the kindling takes
with a hiss

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

Bollywood ringtones
Brighten my film noire mornings
On suburban trains

ten billion light years away a star explodes
its light still out there
building the iron for my car
the dust that built our planet earth ...

I’m listening to Hurt, which Johnny Cash
now sings: the needle’s in his voice, a ghost
lends him its wings, and even with the clash ...

sun after rain
a fox dares me to cross
her path

She’s a delicate rose
Found in flowery prose
And I’m not her. ...
