Michael J. Galko – USA (PJ32)

reflecting pool
my grocery list
forgotten

pardon this limbo
while I await the blossom
of decisiveness

stray memories —
foster dog spooked
by the underpass

300 pound taxi driver —
I am pulling
for his heavy heart

hotel lobby —
trysters enter
and exit

another day unravelling my shadow a shade paler

winding down time to look up at the stars

funeral procession
a car with one headlight
brings up the rear

dusk
from the foreclosed house’s chimney
bats

Halloween dawn
rising in the cemetery
a vagrant yawns

house entrance
I walk on the trilobite
embedded on a step
