17 citrus trees
lost to icy freezing
-unexpected and unprotected
on the roadside
homeless man
movement of lips
in heated confounded solitary discussion …
evening traffic at a crawl
pitch black darkness
pouring down rain
-hit and run driver flees scene
precision dance
kimono-clad lady
balances her umbrella in the wind
winter drizzle-
daughters snowman
with dads umbrella
late-summer’s rain
cardboard bed, remains …
he shivers in his winter coat
