Violets

How they
sag, honeybee,
each one, as you lick from
their middles and hang by your six
black legs.

Earthworm

On the
puddle's bottom,
beside the filter from
a cigarette, your drowned body
turns white.

Raking Out The Garden

In my
wake where the clumps
of matted leaves had been,
titmice flit and tear earthworms from
the dirt.

A Quickening

Nestled
into the bark
of a maple tree, the
gray moth looks dead until I
touch it.


This blog features my original poetry and is a companion site to www.cinquain.org.
