a monostich in time ...: August 2012

Monday, August 27, 2012

birches tightly bunched together -- queuing

tea-colored river - passes by so slowly; I think of lunch

an alligator's snout visible is it swims -- hunter-killer

a hard rain falls on a roiling sea -- indifference

at the Western wall
a small boy prays

overheard by doves

that lemonade after coming in from the noon sun - ambrosial

dawn intrudes - so timidly -- rainy, summer morning

Waters engulfed their young lives - the children onboard 13 de marzo -- sunk by the Castros.

her golden moment
for an entire nation

Slava Milica !

two shooting stars
lighting their way across the sky
first summer love

Gore Vidal -- from his pen flowed prose with grace -- and acid bite.
