penniless sailor

drinking brine

sinking in sand

red mounds of eyes

she pushes him

to go back to his wife

single mother

she only eats

what her son can't finish

alarm clocks & morning robins

the lost children in last night's dream

never return

opaque

opposite of every mistake

we make in the night

late night thunderstorm

her see-through nightgown

whitens

stirring coffee

she stares out the window

nobody ever flies

looking for night thieves--

shadows in the ears

cars prowling empty lots

mother smokes & lectures

in my Led Zeppelin shirt

i don't believe in college degrees
