the first notes
squeezed from bagpipes
small town parade
from To Hear the Rain
Independence Day
after all the fireworks, the stars
still there
long after
the fireworks
a shooting star
from Almost Unseen
fireworks
I close my eyes
for a second look
night train
the fireworks
you missed
boom! boom! ka-boom!
so many duds…
fireworks
translated by D.G. Lanoue
Fourth of July–
grandma’s throw
half way to the toddler
you squeeze my hand . . .
how still the sky
after fireworks
