a cupboard lined

with mason jars

Space station—

   who hears the mouse’s

   frightened squeak?

Kitchen window—

   a stray dog

sunflowers

my shadow and I

move around

broken vase

I bottle my tears

once again

chocolate donut

touches my lips

somewhere else...

sounds like a place without

any problem

the door slammed shut ...

my world without her shrinks

to a tv screen

open to blue skies

in the stillness

a caged eagle and I

become one

the heft of rice seeds

in the burlap sacks

a winter butterfly

darts from the bucket
