lest your firm resolve melt from
tender smoked brisket.

Morning sun
Slanting through speckled
panes, turning cobwebs into
faerie gossamer.
Visiting colleges
Muddy quads, walls bare
of ivy still inspire awe.
Can we get in?
Ithaca, NY
Ph.D.s waitress
here, M.A.s babysit, ’cause
no one wants to leave.
Driving home at sunset
Hills like cut paper
black against tissue blue skies.
Through poked holes, stars shine.
Nearing seventeen
Unaware of her
beauty, unselfconsciousness
gives each movement grace.
High school play
Geeks transformed into
leading men stop hearts, but then
revert back next day.
For whom the bell tolls
From an estate sale –
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.
Empire State Building – in the elevator
Tourists whisked to the
top while on tenant floors, one
hears “shhhhhhsss” like secrets.
New York City from the air
Like a jeweler
displaying gems on velvet
wealth gleams beyond reach
