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
