deep in thompson woods,
sounds of campus slowly fade -
snake in last year's leaves
(4-12)
courthouse cigarette
break, newfallen snow's silence -
justice takes its time
(4-12)
a judge's gavel -
guard questions an old timer,
then, spring's gentle rains
(4-12)
spark and a candle,
a whisper and a fine meal -
train drowns out promise
(3-12)
for several years,
irish fest brought kids t'turley -
got rained out a lot
(3-12)
public library,
watching weeds grow as i wait -
japanese garden
(3-12)
laundromat's lint trap -
clipping i'd saved, in pieces,
outside, howling snow
(3-12)
cardinal hesitates -
forsythia's a good place
to see and be seen
(3-12)
'round hunt'n season,
the deer all come into town -
survival instinct
(3-12)
rur'l king popcorn stop
hundred chicks in box, some dead
big social issue
(3-12)
turley's snow cone hut
mango ice, reasons sunset
concert folks don't clap
(3-12)
protest on main street
some open windows and wave
some spit or throw cans
(3-12)
geese over cedar
argue about the weather -
time to go back north
(2-12)
twenty years, these kids
climbed slides backwards, but she says
in her town they can't
(3-12)
schnuck's flower cashier
might think it wasn't enough -
valentine's special
(3-12)
inside the caboose
sultry mem'ries gather dust -
real train's approaching
(3-12)
