January fog
the old woman keeps forgetting
the names of her children

overcast mornings
the old woman
forgets her own name

every night
braiding constellations
in my daughter’s hair

fell stars
so easily
bruised underfoot

pink rain
the happy sparrow
soars through

cusp of winter
the sound of wing beats
become sun

waiting for the dawn
the stray kittens
counting stars

sleepless night…
the depth of fireflies
one by one

mindless drones
in a maddened frenzy
before the End Of Days
gather bits of crumbs
ten minutes before the closing hour

addled shoppers
with apocalyptic vision
gather loaves of bread
a gallon of milk
and strawberry jam

the poorest children
make it a football…
dried plum(s)

with dried plums
children of the slums
play football
