behind the tool shed.............
in the
clearing........................
across the river
......................The stars in the sky were shining
rain................................ like polished chrome above a
dental office chair.
cold water......................(while the drill punctured barely
numbed teeth)
over the flaming Berkeley Hills.....
blood stains....................
brown grass on the hills...
intensifying with every bump..............
a glass of beer.................
sleep...............................
background noise............
low flying planes.............
a knife with a black handle........ the
smell of green grass..........
warm sun.........................
a red front door................
cold cereal........................
working............................
and seep in your soul....................
a white shirt.......................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
potato soup......................
the unbidden flood...............
