April

april...
putting the old laces
in my new shoes

Luck of the Irish

St. Patrick's day
she fills out another
job application

Full Moon

full moon
in my rear-view mirror
clear rain

Distant Thunder

distant thunder
the curve of my lover's neck
against the train's lurch

March

march
the crack of brown grass
in the sidewalk chinks

Renga

My first solo renga is posted on White Cherry Blossoms. I'd cross-post the whole thing here, but it's too long! Here's a spring-y sample:

white lily
my friend shows us
baby pictures

uprooted daffodils
her guilty smile

Waking

waking from the dream
your voice becomes
birdsong

Afternoon

afternoon
the heat of window glass
against my cheek

Spring Snow

spring snow
my final words
back to haunt me

Spring Cleaning

spring cleaning
I rearrange the furniture
          around
                      your
absence

Ash Wednesday

reading old poems
and letters from you
this ash wednesday
so many things
I am afraid to give up
