humpy bridge
tickling my backbone
the swaet stream

minus twenty
in my voice
my father’s notes

silent dinner
my stepdaughter takes
a green peach

winter morning
my daughter never calls
on my birthday

hannukah candles -
lit together
burn out separately

the goose took off..
from the reflection in the water
to the reflection in the ice

oh snail, creep slowly, slowly -
carry your house
until it’s empty
