air traffic control
honking overhead,
squadrons of geese return home
in wavering vees.
January 13, 2005
day-night blend
twilight sky vignette
from silver to lavender
evening oozes in
November 10, 2004
a french 101 sunset
in the west, pink streaks,
égus and graves slash the sky.
accenting sunset.
northern light show
the night winds wafting
ghoulish green curtains of light
hanging from the clouds
August 05, 2004
bats
fluttering, flapping
rodents of the sky zig-zag
in the purple dusk
June 23, 2004
the sun takes a bow
streaks of magenta
lick the western horizon:
setting sun's encore.
May 21, 2004
vapour trail
zipper in the sky
pulled open by jet's passing
--clouds are spilling out.
May 19, 2004
morning rainbow
fresh sprinkle of rain
scatters in the morning sun.
rainbow smears the clouds.
April 15, 2004
letting go the sky
morning's crescent moon:
night's last grip leaving behind
a fingernail gouge.
April 02, 2004
skyscraping
rain clouds hanging low,
the tips of city towers
shrouded in rumor.
March 09, 2004
jet exhaust
streaks of vapor trails
hanging like silver daggers
to stab the sunset.
March 05, 2004
in the flight path
a sudden whooshing
contains sleepy commuters
breaking morning calm.
February 20, 2004
winter twilight
a dark shroud descends
smearing color, smothering,
blurring the day's end.
February 13, 2004
city morning
disdaining the sun,
restlessly painting the sky
an artificial pink.
January 30, 2004
traffic report
steel birds, wings blinking,
trace hyphenated spirals
seeking stranded prey.
