River of Stones January 2012 – 29

today
my hands remember—
crooked crane

River of Stones January 2012 – 28

halfway through
a paper crane
my hands forget

River of Stones January 2012 – 26

day in bed with the curtains drawn;
still, I know it’s raining

River of Stones January 2012 – 25

river fog
student asks again
if I remember her name…

River of Stones January 2012 – 24

I wipe the hard drive
for a clean start;
meanwhile, I reach
to the back of the cabinet
for the last clean glass

River of Stones January 2012 – 23

year of the dragon
the river rises
to the new moon

River of Stones January 2012 – 22

my cat stretches on a clean spot of carpet;
a winter thunderstorm brings in the new year
