Selected Work
 
wind shift
a clanking bulldozer
and one spring peeper
 
sun in the bones
of a darting minnow
my cell phone rings
 
 
 
sawdust and piss
a Siberian tiger
stares at the baby
 
roasting a rattlesnake we talk about girls
 
 
 
dirt road moon
frogs we gigged
heavy in the bag
 
early morning snow
the janitor shaves
at a barbershop sink
