shone on the rows of aftershave.......................The full moon was rising over the fence
of Ocatillo --
unwashed windows...........
.......................so close you could almost smell the
craters.
warm milk.................It not only illuminated
in his bathroom..........
the poolside white plastic chaise lounge with wheels
the sound of water.........but also shone on the rows of aftershave
lotions
rain......................on the bathroom shelves.
cold water......................
blood stains....................
brown grass on the hills........
a flowered dress..............
a glass of beer.................
the only opening in the defensive walls
...........
like polished chrome above.........
low flying planes.............
intermittent pain...............
the smell of green grass....
warm sun.........................
a red front door................
cold cereal........................
white enamel
plaques............................
making things....................
a white shirt.......................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
potato soup......................
never know why...............
glossy cotton
curtains..............................
footprints..........................
a dark corner....................
the pine trees overhead......
walking.............................
riding................................
the horizon........................
