Dick and Laurence Renku-2

end of summer
the deflated wheel
of a tricycle

(L)


first day of spring
the prostitute forces a smile

(D)


mountain rain
the laughter
of grandchildren

(L)


no moon tonight
the cleaners plan a strike

(D)


autumn returns
wild geese
in the same letter

(L)


after the stroke
she calls me 'Michael'

(D)


coming solstice
my mother checks
for lumps

(L)


earthquake over
the spider rebuilds its web

(D)


childhood photo
a father
I don't recognize

(L)


another year older
the morepork's song

(D)


first star
the infant's grip
tightens

(L)


construction site
sparrows play

(D)


sleeve weather
a raven slips
into clouds

(L)


last week of tutorials
the roof springs a leak

(D)


Indian summer
the beggar tries
my door

(L)


collapsed mine
the pub falls silent

(D)


Thanksgiving dinner
we mute the program
on Indians

(L)


sniffing her panties
summer heat

(D)


no name
in the thrift store coat
first snow

(L)


sudden downpour
the hills disappear

(D)


crackdown
on Atlanta homeless
December wind

(L)


first Christmas alone
the snow so deep

(D)


the youngest
pregnant again...
winter solstice

(L)
