After The Love Has Gone-
The empty mouth of
an album cover
August dusk-
A sandcastle melts
in the rain
Empty Starbucks-
The steady drip drip
of a woman's tears
Morning fog
While waiting for the bus
Fifty Shades of Gray
Filling the beach
then all the benches-
Snow flurries
Winter storm Jonas-
Too much whipped cream atop
the hot chocolate
First day of Spring-
A robin pecks
crack vials
Shards of glass-
The glazed eyes
of a deer
Four AM-
Even the crack heads
yawn
First day of Pre-K-
His backpack crushed
by a hug
