signs

an urban version

the red wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

the animals have turned human.

this is what i live with.

a once graceful, meek feline, matilda has now turned into ma' the beer-guzzling, tv-watching wench.

actually, it should be noted no TV is on. she's just staring into the void, contemplating when to take her next nap.

i have no idea how she got herself into this position, although i'm sure she was planning it all day.

fraying

here is the point
where the fraying ropes
meet-- bisected for a moment
by a lone hair
hanging in the aquamarine
hush.

in the aquamarine hush
my body trying to catch
closer. how do you run
while lying still?
street light cuts in
through 2 missing slats. the blinds
see more than the cold sheets.

sheets of vapor layer
into a fog where lies escape
untouched, like schooners
sailing without a lighthouse--
parting water with their hollow
hulls, and where
is the point?
