Poems written while traveling.
Full Moon
Sleek, visually unstable behind the tall bushes, a blue automobile moves along the street across the canyon. It catches the glow from the streetlamp— then the glow recedes. ...furtive moonlight. A slight offshore and crickets. A truck growls over a rise on the freeway. Again, a light wind laces the jacaranda; the cat scrambles into the bushes. Sitting on the back porch, patient eyes and ears, I was trying to catch that offbeat melody of the tree frogs when a small red plane sliced the big moon. back | ToC | next
