deserted asphalt road -
distance never healed
Men and women pour tons
Of concrete, cement, asphalt, stones
The humble weeds seek the Sun
Foundation. Humans quip they won!
tall grass tickles
a bare tree growing through stones
an isle in asphalt
painted white lines go by
guiding the flow of morning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glowworms of asphalt—
each halo a civic pact:
"Stay lit," they murmur
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
peach pit spat on cracked asphalt~
abandoned payphone hums,
one dime short of salvation.
evening is silent
as gust trickles on asphalt
ruffling umbrellas ---
fingers in coiled position
grasp steel rod not letting go
had they attended,
marking depths of ebony
strands dark as the asphalt sea
gray matters in your voice,
would you have let your life linger?
cracked concrete
gravel and tar
grimy and gritty
asphalt yard
put in by my husband
a non-mower
who would like the entire yard to be asphalt
a yellow lily
blooms next to steaming asphalt
beauty finds a way

Nostrils flair
As scents waft in
Gasoline
Wet asphalt
Rain pours down
Cars muddle by
I safe in my perch
Safe in my birch
Still unbent by time
In the busiest asphalt jungles
good and evil value bouts of recreation
~ shunning all work no play

Butterfly
'Pon center's white line
Car speeds by
Mourning cloak
Bounces lifeless 'pon asphalt
Tears trickle down cheeks
A wagtail
on big feet is
looking for something to eat
on the asphalt
just outside the window
the little bird is big
as a dinosaur
among the ants
Let me leave the concrete behind me
and go where the asphalt no longer shows.
Where the mist-covered trees surround me
and nature gently caresses my soul…
Casualties of torrid summer asphalt
So easy to scorch underpillows of paws
Dogs much prefer cool grass

Just over the hill
Beyond the slick black asphalt
misty rain blankets
Cascading through soft sunrays
Shimmering like fire and ice

Heeding extreme hot weather warnings.
Dogs are seen tiptoeing on scorching asphalt.
Seeking a patch of grass.

Rain slowly trickles
Dribbles from blue asphalt roof
Wets ink 'pon page
"Twas dry dull work written by
The old poet as tears did flow
For Jimbo
Grass sopping wet
Roads covered in rain
Asphalt slippery
Yet again
Dismally upsetting
All Earth looks wrong
Yielding to what nature wants
She sings this dreary song
squirrels get frisky
cold weather aids their enthusiasm
round and round the tree they run
horses glad to be walking on cool asphalt
loving the oranges and browns of autumn
Bile-blood
Drip drops
On the
BLacktop
From my mouth,
Christened like
The cup
During communion-
This pavement
Shall be my
Chalice
I guess
Even asphalt
Can be a
Heavenly view.
This morning feels like ignition to the restless soul.
I’ve lived so long grounded, sole to earth and tires to black asphalt.
Oh meshing gears and anklebone. The road, my life, my load.
My coffee's so strong, it wakes up the neighbors
Perhaps it the brand, I usually prefer Nabob
Nabob's a
Maybe if I switch
Peels off your skin seems like “Epidermis Asphalt”
volcanic asphalt
the absolute monarchy -
nature's rebellion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
paper boats, folded whispers,
drift where rain and asphalt meet.
streetlight spills on silent journeys,
curbside rivers, slow and deep.
