Cuttings
Spring
Michael P. Garofalo
Spring
Red Bluff, Tehama County, California
Dry wind--
the sweetness
of the last cherry.
[June]
Thousands of leaves
shake in the breeze--
empty sky.
ticking my life away
indifferent clocks
everywhere
[May]
Walking the fence line, eyes downcast;
Humming a rock tune, smiling at last.
[June]
hand
on head
eyes down--
whiskey breath
[April]
Lathhouse shade--
the scent of honeysuckle
fills the shadows.
[May]
Dirty hand, callused palm,
black fingernails:
Green Thumb
[May]
headless mouse
by the back door
ruthless cat
[April]
walking in the weeds
Sneezing
into the spring breeze
[April]
Easter
morning -
rising
over stones
poppies.
Under our floor
Spider families.
Two worlds-- an inch apart.
[May]
covered with ants--
dead lizard
disappearing ..... bit by bit
[June]
often
Wide mind, deep feelings ...
poemless
[May]
Red Bluff Ro'day'o
Rounding e'm up--
pointy toed boots and Stetsons
[April]
A homeless man shivers in the sunshine.
Home of the free; land of the hungry.
