Car Ride

the telephone wires droop and

rise

like blank bars of

music

only ending when I turn

away

but we keep on

going

in the style of William Carlos Williams

Sunday

alone in my house

outside stands a tree

its happy and free

he built me a birdhouse

from a hole crawls a mouse

through windows I see

cat chasing a bee

I go to the bathhouse

starting to undress

I turn and he's there

I can't even scream

its my neck, his caress

he sniffs at my hair

I wake from my dream

A feeble attempt at an Italian Sonnet

A Dream

Standing in a crowded room

everyone is dressed in brown

its snowing outside

but still sunny

there is tension in the crowd

they all turn

and start moving towards me

in the style of Wallace Stevens
