Proud to Follow:

Love the idea of “coffee textures”! A beautiful stone!

restaurant booth

Warm formica, sunlit slats

Sliding along damp vinyl

Breakfast coffee smiling

Above crisp placemat

walking around town

Coffee textures, oyster hues

Sun peeking over clouds

Paint peels, white on blue

My view dusk shrouds

spring cleaning

Doorwall sliver open

Ribbon breeze riots blinds

Partying with my papers

1 am dashboard radio

Landslide thrums under toes

The Reflex, my knee apropos

Song scroll, base roll

Singing hits noble goal.

8 SWANS

Generic black characters

Cut through white and grime

Strange this vanity plate

Helps silver clearcoat shine

eat your broccoli

Steaming forest green tender fronds

Topped with frothed butter

Still not enough to tempt

Her palate

putting the little one to bed

Sandy slats of fuzzy wood

Overhang my daughter’s shining head

During sleep
