Finally got my mojo back after a long dry spell. I think I have a short, short story in me too, if I can ever sit still long enough to get it down.
Fourth of July
The steady pop pop pop
of the rain
Second date
My car already parked
in her garage
Cornbread
Earl Grey
and me
Yoga on the beach
her Afro slightly matted
Sunrise
my glasses
half full
Manhole cover-
The ring around
Her right eye
Incoming waves
the white curls of a woman
on the beach
Casino sunrise-
A security guard's eyelids
Lower
Pistachio shell
with no seams-
Her pursed lips
Empty clam shell-
The doctor says
False Positive
Ivy greens a wall-
Her unshaven legs
Flash-
A fifty foot shadow
Boom
