Mesmerized
By its own shadow

Sweeping the porch —
The bookmark I lost
Among the leaves.

Old pillow!
Whatever happened
To all our dreams?

The clouds going
Their separate ways.

The weathervane’s arrow
Creaking in the wind.

A worn-out-looking man
At every window.

The pigeons in the next spot
Staring up at me.

How long has it been since someone
Dusted this shelf?

Blinking red and white:
First star I see tonight
An anti-collision light.

his body, the concrete

worried mother taps her foot

The woman across from me
Becoming her voice.

On the corrugated roof 
Beating as we moved.

Even the Lego flowers
Losing their petals.

The heat was stupefying, and we debated seeing the famous Colosseum. But it dwarfed even the assembled crowd and we milled around, robbed of human scale. I closed my eyes and imagined the tidal waves of sound crashing down on the gladiators, baying for enough blood to set a champion free.

With nowhere to start
And so many stars it’s hard
To connect the dots.

a ‘face’ surfaces,
stirring sympathy

The Spanish mission’s shadow
Climbing up the hill.
