mercury glass and mirrors,
puddles of water, windows,
books, movies and songs,
ice chips and diamonds,
silver spoons, steady minds,
sometimes children and sometimes parents

Old Things That I Like: 2
cars from the 1930’s and 40’s
bottles filled with buttons
objects found in abandoned buildings
jelly jars as glasses
lockets with locks of hair
stamps on yellowed envelopes
chipped pitchers holding fragrant lilacs
photos in cigar boxes
rolodex rotary files
steamer trunks with hand lettering
thick, tall maples
bibles with scribbled family trees
barns on the pennsylvania countryside
One Word: One Week: 1
nostalgia
Things that Stack
bowls and plates
bills and thank you notes
hopeful seed packets
qualities and faults
new books and old books
playing cards and tiny blocks
vintage ribbon spools
days in a lifetime
bricks on an old house
wool sweaters and worn jeans
dreams and disappointments
On my mind lately
fairy lights and sparrow skulls
swollen winter river strands
vintage postcards on the walls
summer lined in brick-paved bands
Merry Holidays
Merry Holidays to you and to your families.
Be safe, warm and happy and I’ll see you again in January.
Tom’s Diner
(my little version i was thinking about
a couple Sunday mornings ago at Tom’s Diner)
i was sitting
in the morning
at the diner
on the corner
i was thinking
of the years
that passed by
steadily and still
the smells of
fresh brewed coffee
made me close
my eyes and wonder
where my art school
dreams have drifted…
an homage to Suzanne Vega and her song Tom’s Diner, 1981
