After the rainstorm
Hanging stars on a clothesline
A nighttime project
nl avery
My hand fell over the handle
The pot’s lid trapping
the aroma of bouillabaisse before
attracting any more attention
Such a lyrical dish
has many a fish tale
nl avery
Cold breath of winter
An exhale of snow falling
Still and silent
nl avery
Iris slips into royal colors
Her petals a fleur-de-lis
For a brief encounter
She makes her entrance
And then gently drops away
nl avey
Found a photograph
In the pocket of the
Thrift store overcoat
Kodachrome image
Locked in a faded snapshot
A stranger in my palm
