among the red--
beautiful and different
lavender tomatoes

vip
attractive pop sickle stick
with big hair

Juicy and sweet,
the sugarplum dances dimly
in the back of my mind.

modern role reversal
the cat brings offerings to
the human

my husband--
the comforting *clank* of Volkswagen tools
on the garage floor

a ghost
in the foggy darkness
coming to claim its own

in the cool of the morning
God waters the world

sweetest flowers
Our Lady's mantel
gently blooms

the fish hear me
leaving the restaurant
and beg for food

he watches the car
we wait and watch him watching--
wife & bird

Gettysburg

stranded in the hot sun,
cursing corset and hoop skirt--
she whips out her cell phone
