Light from the ferry’s window
mixed along the floor.
Alone, we wait to be delivered.
* * *
Two new sparrows,
the tourists don’t know
they’re new.
* * *
Too tired to write
and this hot apartment
keeps me awake.
* * *
Cigarettes will kill you.
You said it so sweetly
I wanted another.
* * *
Indians swimming
in Manhattan Bay
years ago.
* * *
Sad story,
my shoes sitting at the end of the room
and me looking at them.
* * *
Hum of the universe
I’m trying to sleep.
* * *
I keep thinking
of that one time over and over again.
Is that shallow or deep?
* * *
Talking about the weather
became trite,
which was sad.
* * *
That’s perfume.
I’d know it anywhere
by its smell.
* * *
Don’t be mad,
I’m in bed thinking
of you at work.
* * *
Storm waiting
for her to leave
then raining.
