for michael, susan and dennis

 

fade to blue
we do it this way while the sun sets dying through our window

true beauty

there is no one watching

the garage

you you lady in the black dress

sometimes in headlights insects gleam

the bridge

when sorrow gives way to anger

royal canadian regiment 1956

the faces

a portrait for shaving

red flowers

isn't it the strangest thing about churches

the winnowing fan

fade to blue left side

fade to blue right side

 

this little battle

poetry fat cats

i share an apartment with two artists

good morning

waiting for the phone to ring

campbell's cream of piano soup

dance in an asylum

effie

sometimes passion sometimes pain

old fashioned rollerskates

catherine's horse, don't you know

in my memory i wish we were lovers

mrs.noah

this little battle

mr. papillio

tarantula arms

succubus

at dawn

the ribbon

 

the nature of desire

 95 valium

tearing you asunder

the library

fathers and sons

canto 72

the nature of desire

epigraph

the matador

my friend wendy gordon said

summer

wrong number

 if not today then tomorrow

 as lori-jane slept

morning

at the hospital

if not today then tomorrow

 you and your dog toto too

while the sirens wait i raise this drink in silence
