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

the dried channels
of long dead rivers
my etched face

missing them all
a day moon sails
in the blue wind

grade school inhaling
a mimeographed
pop quiz

film noir
a slim curl of smoke
from the barrel

the old poet
‪reading his words asks
‪who wrote this
