first light
the curve of the banister
to her room


                                              Millennium sunrise
                                              a snail's trail emerges
                                              from the dog house


setting sun
roadside florist peels back
the roses


                                              cracks of moonlight
                                              through the shutters
                                              the last of the puzzle


closing time
a clown makes balloon animals
for the zoo keeper


                                              small talk
                                              making my face
                                              look interested


lipstick print
on the paper cup
a bee
