HEAVEN LAKE ( 31 ) ~

When






When the cat

doesn’t get

its way



it does

what none of

us have yet



learned

to

do



it

goes back

to the



couch

curls up

shuts up







I’ll Never Be Poor







How she does it

I don’t know



don’t want

to know



will never

know as



she turns to me and

it’s new all over again






Question







How alone are you?

In your sweet

Baby’s arms







Not Least






A night after

the meteor shower

of the century



wrapped in blankets

we counted shooting stars until

we lost count



though it was a lone star

the next night spearing

the woods darkness



as if a late comer —

that seemed to

count the most
