The moist lip of spring
fresh magnolia blossoms
beneath the street light

The gibbering beast
outside: just a cat in heat
or my own worst thoughts?

Train’s lonely whistle
rides the mist @ 2 AM
closer than it seems

Misty halo moon
black tree branches’ tendriled scrawl
flock of geese sing past

Sunset skyscraper
sends a gleaming path across
the river to me

Seagull reels through mist
river buoy flashes red
rain speckles my sight

Perigee full moon
a white, blazing gaze stares down
close as it will come
