Venice is cyan
in the soft, early morning
The canals look clean

Little Boxes on the Hill Side

Little boxes where the
sky ends and the skyscrapers start
and lights fill the heart

Autumn in the MW

Midwestern leaves fall
to the ground, Midwestern trees
pleading, "Stay, stay, stay"

Handymen

They are here every
morning, tripping down the stairs,
laughing, repairing

Translucent leaves in
the sun, they can't shield your skin
from the UV rays

Her little black dress,
falling neatly to the floor,
always wants something more

Winter's Intrigue

I could go one year without
the sun baking the earth, and spend my
days sprawled out on the white cold

"She is more than smoke-ring smiles
and black knee-length boots."
