horizontal bar

     

a seagull blackens
toward the horizon
—ebb tide

     

last rites—
incense dilutes the reek
of irish whiskey

     

butterflies
the book falls open
at his love poem

     

temple looting—
another buddha
loses his head

     

a raga
in the junkyard—
summer rain

     

walled garden
the pleiades hidden
by the moon

     

achiote stall
the red of sunrise
on high cheekbones

     

bare cottage rose—
rain fills the empty
blackbird’s nest

     

leaking skylight—
suddenly the moon
in the drip bucket

     

home renovations—
under old linoleum
old news
