homeless…
a plastic bag drifts
across the sidewalk
snow flurry on an empty street the traffic light turns red
up to the summit up to a hawk’s cry up to the sun
war memorial
the unhistoric fights
I fought
orion
my mind back at the source
of words
I am a moth too
in the face of light
alone at home
spending time with
my habits
closing time
a stepladder holds
the last light
business lunch
the dialogues
unspoken
