a tight-cropped raccoon staring full of question
in the green leaves in front of an intricately tiled wall
a white panther spews water
into a pool of lilies
320 days a year you’d be hungry
an owl in snowfall
three landscapes, including a road through a desert
a smiling fisherman holds a salmon
the length of his leg
twelve neckties a father would love:
none of them fit for the office
roulette wheel with a ducky decoy
for games no player can win
egos as a blindfold
tied with leather work gloves
the pink smoke, uncoiling
wordlessly
shocks of wheat
around a woman in dream
two more windmills
half of the sky, a rusty eggshell
a flame
as an open door
a clock and classical portrait suspended on ribbon
wind mill manufacturers in Batavia, Illinois
