Breakup

After the storm
The clouds going 
Their separate ways. 

Hot Mic

Standing in the glow 
Of the spotlight’s soft circle, 
Tilting her head back. 

Déjà Vu

Morning walk — 
A worn-out-looking man 
At every window. 

Colosseum

A dark residue 
Still pools at the bottom 
Of this broken teacup. 

Diversion

Shiny butterfly —
The wind turning the pages 
Of my Oscar Wilde.  

Nostalgia

Drive-in diner — 
The pigeons in the next spot
Staring up at me. 

Wall Safe

You got the feeling 
Something of great value lay 
Just beyond the frame.
