snow —
my Father’s footprints
smaller than mine
prairie dawn
above a buffalo herd
slowly rising steam
old brothel –
a FOR SALE sign
atop another
desert funeral–
a dead cactus
still bears its thorns
a boy naps–
dust devils spin
down the lane
fireplace–
the last glow
from Grandpa’s tree
a fishbowl
lit by reflected light
from a pond
six a.m. –
my shadow running
across all six lanes
wind and rain –
just a gull and I
at the ferry landing
stormy night
— lightning
outlines our bodies
