On the Shoulder of Another

...when you came down off the mountain

and the sun not yet part of the sky

the marker made no shadow

it seemed that distance always

except then...

A Glittering Speeder on the Horizon

...darling,

look out into the darkness, and you see that wavering?

a glittering reflection, flat and expanding

as you slip beneath the surface to catch her going in

your circumference traces an arc toward the horizon

like the dew which gathers on the edge of the infinity pool

you gaze past the glass wall and ask her, ...

Guilford Bridge / After the Storm

as the water lifts off your heel
and falls back into the puddle

One, Two is a Reflection

returning the way the two fishermen gaze at the increasing sky;
pale reddish, quiet. through it's facets.
their tin boat skimming across the reflection,
a milk jug whips out from under the seat, neither see it.
from above it looks like heat rising.

The Same Thing

Overlooking a new home site cut out of ice plant and scrub juniper
at the edge of a canyon, the three boys kicked at the dust.
Finding no pool, they followed the rocky path back down,
squinting with the sun in their eyes.

Black Eyes

The three shines wane in the air.
