ripley hugo / for JnJ on wylie too



and when i stood beside him, he told
me, "I need to be way out here when
dark comes. I need to see where 
the colors go." He meant, when colors
go from the grass, from the stones,
when they drown in the water, go
somewhere they know but we don't.
"I take them  inside me," I said.
He smiled, added softly, "And keep them
for morning, I know."

haiku rain / pluie / for abigail




          matin venteux je

          ne suis pas seule à n'avoir pas
          pressenti la pluie


          windy morning i'm

          not alone having not
          anticipated rain


            can't resist doing the 5-7-5 bit, even if it means weird seizure - 
            may need tweaking

jack gilbert / finding something



Michiko is dying in the house behind me,

..........

The arches of her feet are like voices
of children calling in the grove of lemon trees,
where my heart is as helpless as crushed birds.

      "Is Elvin around?"


      This time he hesitated. "I'm sorry, who?"


      "I thought we were getting along," Kathy said. "You like my hair, I like yours. Why spoil it?"

RIP elmore leonard


   
"Elvin looked at her with the pizza box on his mind and told her to hit the road. She said, 'Well, pardon me all to hell,' and slid off the stool."
