Frank's Home
lean out and look upon the open
shiny black roads bordering the sand
on the tips of my toes
pierce the horizon
*
a gray cat on the edge
of a birdbath in the desert
Signal Hill
a family photo
turned into wallpaper
"the longer human history petropglyphs suggest"
a printer, a poet, a lover
*
a roadrunner
round the mesquite
Palo Verde branches and thorns
sky
*
the world begins
in my mouth
the fierce clear light
between a caterpiller and a cloud
a printer, a poet, a lover
labors feathers and wax
where wind and birds
the heart attacks
