Hosing the Sidewalks
...In the mornings, building staff,
Equipped with long green hoses,

By dogs which poo or pidd...

A Woodpecker Pecked
...A woodpecker pecked on our siding
And likely, won’t listen to chiding.
He left a few holes
Beyond our controls
In a place where we’re partly residing.

...The tinted walls’ filled with paintings -
Max, Bull, Fanch, Chen and Noah.
The mantel, shelves, tabletops cleared
to be lemon-dusted and windex-spritzed.
Company’s coming. Lots to be done.

Beach Therapy
...Translucent turquoise tide pools
soft shimmer on the sand,
mirrors for vain seagulls,
bathtubs for crusty crabs.
The tide slap lapping on the beach,

yearning for vacation,
yet like nomads we dwell,
yon from city life, spritzed
yellow frisking through firs,
yielding to swift trail bends,

And sea foam rises
The crisp sound of the ocean
Echoes in the cavernous openings
Of private oceanside caves.
Waters rise and recede
As time passes through.
Sunlit moments...

Hello.
Fancy meeting you here.
Last time we met like this?

Up to the second floor balcony,

Spent buried under a mil...

The Scent of Water
...Her man was woven into love spell
By another woman, not of her smell.
Bewitchery, she will not tolerate
To the perfumery she’ll calculate.
Apothecary had the perfect answer
An exotic earthy whiff...

That lurk within our space.
He bought a spray-top Lysol and
He spritzed around the place.

For my vitamin sea
To drink in the zing
Of an orange setting sun
As it spritzed liquid gold
Onto zesty shimmering sand
