Waves shuffle the deck
present me with a new hand
before I can act on the old.
It's conch to jellyfish low
when my ante
disappears with a bubble
down the gullet of a clam.
Damn ocean . . .

Lying in grass, drinking blackberry wine
I watch two hawks arguing territory with crow.
Ee-ow, ee-ow, I call. They respond,
settle differences; quiet descends. . . .

I hope you get well soon.
I'm enjoying the book.

The spine is cracked right there . . .

Across my street
is a telephone pole

saw the photographer next door
leaving with a suitcase

Backlit,
an S-curve silhouette
patters in the bathroom.
Jars and bottles
tapping on the counter.
Frogs peep-singing,

the window screen.

I hear her voice
when the clerk . . .

always wanting to know things
how we buy food
they called it - groceries
I gestured to the garden
that is food I said
I don't . . .
