Quarter moon before sunset

late summer shiva*
no-one sure
what to say



*in the Jewish tradition, families and friends sit shiva after someone dies.

for Daniel Stone, may his creative spirit enlighten heaven.

Micro/macro

inside
a haiku-shaped
hole

young man
in line at Wendy's
his macroeconomics text



the intimacy
and anonymity
of keys



after all this subway construction
expecting the Taj Mahal

Summer's secrets

standing outside
victoria's secret
three muslim women
in drab head scarves
early summer afternoon


the trees much closer
early summer rain


browsing the
mental health books,
a small butterfly



moths/moments


summer afternoon
the old couple sitting
on a park slope stoop
not talking
on cell phones




park slope
overtaken from 9 to 3
the mommies
