Ferris wheel the fog rolls in with the dawn wire fence the smell of coal dust from the barge the sounds from a playground across the river the foot bridge a water rat sniffs near my shadow morning rain the kitten trembles in its sleep new sidewalk the squirrel's footprints fill with rain clerk's burial the bulldozer covers his
grave spring chill clouded
night algae
glow in the bow wave hot playground a wind stirs the trees the East river darkens near the sewer school of fish lingering heat the dirt road ahead of me The mountain
top dimples under the strider's leg the old man and toddler sway between steps late fall a tea leaf drys in the cup Christmas twilight the blackbird's silence from tree to tree relections from a still pond frozen winter
branch the roundness
of the sparrow in the
wind winter surf a dog sniffs distant places on other dogs snow storm the spray
covers the jetty
