skeletons in dresses
sauntered down the runway
noses in the air
II
rickety Ferris wheel ride
roller-coaster pulling Gs
riding out the summer
III
hot and hazy days
some like them some don't
the nature of things
IV
insects grow quiet
darkening clouds in the West
tornado warning
roofs fly off to distant places
a cameo is all the family found
V
a clear winter's night
gallon jugs at the ready
tasting moonshine
VI
carp swam in the pool
white noise with a touch of gold
sound of running water
VII
after they parted
their shadows continued on
walking hand-in-hand
VIII
what's left to do
wipe the salty sweat away
can anyone beat Tiger
IX
a sunny torrent
heat waves cavort on the road
atoms break-dancing
X
all is quiet
except for that thing in the attic
restless for the dawn
XI
no morning paper
can't drink my coffee without it
a hole in my donut
