3/7/13

standing by the sink
to wash a mug, steep mint tea
radio mumbling
the cat curls fox-wise, sleeping
I sip and dream of summer

3/6/13

spring cacophony
ankle-deep snow thaws into
streams of cold water;
eight-hour blizzard erased
in a sunny afternoon

3/5/13

swift change is coming
I can taste it in my mouth
salt, ammonia
clouds race across the sky, wet
with snow to cloak early spring

3/4/13

ring the broken chord
spark the spacewalk, spiral fills
claustrophobic drums
I'll walk this beat out downtown
my head hung in the ether

3/3/13

two-thousand green miles
a ribbon spooling over
creekbeds, mountain stones
my swift feet ache for the trail
my tongue, six months of silence

3/2/13

pile the bed with sheets
worn blankets, hope-chest quilts seed
the afternoon nap
our sleepy limbs tangle like
kudzu climbing phone pole wires

3/1/13

ring the tamborine
shake the room with bass and sweet
reedy harmonies
it's so dark and tonight we're
drunk in love and alive
