A small black spider
alights upon my keyboard
jittering its lettered dance

I make my mother’s
pikelets, though there
are better recipes
Zenku #948
Windows rattle glassy-eyed
greetings to a chopper
flying far too low
Zenku #947
A cat at either
end and, in between,
the rug’s playing field
Zenku #946
Yearning for the
irretrievable I stare
down my mirrored self
Zenku #945
Stepping between raindrops
while the clouds
decide – now or there?
Zenku #944
Reluctant dog at
the new vet’s door
Can he read?
Zenku #943
Shaken by gustiness
some leaves appear
frightened – others, drunk
Zenku #942
The crow tempted
by roadkill navigates
rain and wheels
Zenku #941
A late in the
day sunshower with
minutes to spare
Zenku #940
A fallen branch stacked
with its brothers and sisters
in veteran silence
Zenku #939
Beneath the umbrella and
beneath the shady tree
Double cool
Zenku #938
Shady Duet #2
Walking beneath
line shadow
A temporary tattoo
Zenku #937
Shady Duet #1
Driving through
shadow lines
Momentary racing stripes
Zenku #936
The imperfection of
Saturday afternoon
without a casual sleep
