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.
