Narcissus flower
Mesmerized
By its own shadow

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

Whatever happened
To all our dreams?

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?

First star I see tonight
An anti-collision light.

The woman across from me
Becoming her voice.

Losing their petals.

And so many stars it’s hard
To connect the dots.

The Spanish mission’s shadow
Climbing up the hill.
