fallen kites
in the far field
- wild iris

heartache-
the dead hummingbird
begins to twitch

tink-tink-tink

in the dryer
the sound of a lost penny
- sunday trance

R.I.P. J.D. Salinger

The little girl on the plane
Who turned her doll's head around
To look at me

-J.D. Salinger
Franny and Zooey

a long limbed willow
reaching out
to touch my shoulder

tulips in their vase
going every which way
-sunday morning

northern wind-
a fallen bird's nest
unsettles the soul
