Our Lady has a day
Juan Diego anglo named
she gave him roses
(12 December, Our Lady of Guadalupe)
I am Christopher
bearer of Christ and walking
hundred-acre woods
your name is your name
assigned you for a reason
there is a story
c l couch
(a series, I suppose, though I think each poem stands on its own)
there are good stories [a line while drafting that I thought I’d let stay on the page]

in secret by night windows
chimneys correlate

Wichita
(somehow the magic)
sun angles through glass
by the panes make frames of light
inspiring our art

pale gray without lines
no deep curves and shadow-play
I’d rather rainclouds

Saturday haiku
the weekend adds up week’s leaves
rake and then jump in

so it is today
and beauty from brown ashes
withered leaves provide
c l couch
(I saw so many fallen leaves on the ground, despite it being only early August for the summer)
sodden leaves by rain
black branches keep dimension
folded out pale sky

2 weekend haiku
Saturday crowds green
back and out front glisten ‘round
wider spring’s sunlight
city slides from hill
bushel claims the under-light
weekend gospel press
