The pot’s lid trapping
the aroma of bouillabaisse before
attracting any more attention
Such a lyrical dish

Old Mamalulu
Unfolds her chair at the park
And waits for nightfall
The stars don’t care where you live
That’s the kindness of nature
Found a photograph
In the pocket of the
Thrift store overcoat
Kodachrome image
Locked in a faded snapshot
A stranger in my palm
