day 21

little red farmhouse
secrets stashed away for years
girl with two lovers

day 19

I want to relive
those moments of ecstasy;
I’ve found they are gone.

still life 2 (#22)

on the table:
a basket of bread,
some butter,
a cup of soup, 1/2 sandwich,
one glass of beer
two napkins, forks, spoons, knives,
one gin and tonic with lime, and one
plate of fruit with 1/2
his sandwich.

lemons

sliced in quarters
on the wooden board,
all sticky juice and seeds;
--a wedge of lemon
floats atop ice and bubbles;
we smile at each other
