gargoyle thunderheads eye us with
haughty indifference
as our mouths spout streams…
ritual daily news
centered in the slick grey expanse
of ellsworth and first,
by boccherini’s
and monteith river park
suddenly in bloom with snaps of
bright umbrellas.
watch the jeweler’s iron clock
blush time on a round moon face
pace slowed
to the lazy lull of an
inconsequential
northwest
river town…
simplicity surrounds us
with antique globe street lamps
gently stirred to life;
hazy, yellow halo rows
of candles in the oregon evening
window of mist
we slip quietly into our stream
of familiarity,
allow pacific rain
to wash daytime’s distance
away from us
