Ginkgo leaves
fluttering gold
alchemy is real Genie
the dog barks at the moon
in another time
zone Nicholas
Autumn frost at dawn
climbing slowly
the window pain Veni
a bumpy airplane ride
back south Juliet
Black votes
don’t matter
says the governor David
I will set you free
in a galaxy of stars Genie
the newlyweds cruise
hollywood Blvd.
for a hooker Nicholas
a dream in all colors
the lightness of being Veni
she falls on the ice
spilling a latte
and donuts Jennifer
damn narrow chimney!
Santa Claustrophobia David
brightening the vampire’s day
was a bad idea Nicholas
keeping the picture of you
in my PC to not get them wet Vini
lonely virgins linger
around the community
pool Jennifer
boys dance
in a marijuana cloud
under a summer moon David
pointing the gun to my head
I change my mind Genie
holy Jizo
comforts the child
in palm tree shade Nicholas
the village
mountain greener
in sunrays of March Veni
my mother picks lilacs
and tells us
be patient Jennifer
a million years is nothing
frog pond frog David
