GRIZZLY PEAR

  • asian pear watermelon

    I dreamt of an asian pear.

    Stamped with the image of a watermelon.

    Red flesh, black seeds, green rind.

    A juicy bulbous slice.

    We were so sick of being trapped by the heat we ended up going to the park around 8pm or so. I played a little (actually a lot) with motion blur. The second shot of many turned out better than the rest.

    waxing gibbous
    the lawn chair becomes a slide
    in the grey light

  • Apple

    outstretched hand
    a slice of apple
    feeding daddy

  • Stuff

    The decade

    Passed

    A blink

    Boxes

    Waiting in

    Mom’s shed.

    eating an apple
    she wails
    outstretched arm
    as daddy heads to work

    with a big grin
    she waves byebye
    and turns the corner
    around the blooming rosebush

    Pigeon coos
    Baby squawks
    Computer hums

    in the gray dawn light

  • The petal

    In from the backyard,
    She proudly holds a rose petal
    For mommy!

  • Good Morning

    Standing in the early morning light
    Swaying my child to sleep
    A bird chirps alone in the dark

  • Three quick pops

    sickly sour fluoride,
    drinking the summer air
    from the dentist

    one last drag,
    Houston summer morning
    colder than night

    I’m condensing
    sweating for the bus
    in the morning light
