I drink my tea with honey
—wishing a downpour

Tank-bred for killing
blood-splattered face locked smiling
—only a baby


Zaeed Massani
Unlikely hero
pre-occupied with vengeance

Tali'Zorah vas Neema
Trapped in her space suite

Closed on Tuesdays (January 26, 2009)

Indian zombies
donning traditional garb
kiss surabhi's lock

groups of Indians
travel from their cars and back
frostbit parking lot

wasted lunch break
quest for Indian buffet
locked door doesn't care

After Christmas (December 26, 2009)

Day after Christmas
tired from the blizzard
snow falls lazily

Computerless (December 15, 2009)

Torn from a loved one
I stand lonely and alone
computerlessness


love expressed in hugs
I'm forced to restrain myself
else you will be crushed

Big Snow (December 8, 2009)

dozen accidents
Minnesota's first snowfall
always a surprise


snow falling sideways—
playing Donkey Kong Country
I hear winter themes

made transparent with sunlight
box elder shadows

Gloom (October 21, 2009)

kept interesting by rain
starting and stopping

Drizzle (October 1, 2009)

two full cups of tea
by the espresso machine
—soon to be empty

Snowfall (October 13, 2009)

outside — a snowfall
inside steam wafts from my cup
how appropriate

Cold (September 30, 2009)

cold air on my face
inhale the smell of winter
exhale foggy breath



an empty highway
your aroma rides along
I miss my exit

Imported Japanese Porcelain Cup (August 21, 2009)

expensive tea cup
improves the flavor of tea
—money well spent


flirt with Emily
she ignores me completely
her way of flirting


drinking tea outside
I rarely experience
the chirping of birds

Night (September 29, 2009)

wonders of the world
comfortably from my home
the travel channel

Rain (August 20, 2009)

grey clouds motionless
lush trees dance in cool air
the smell of rainfall

Lunch Buffet (August 5, 2009)

a busy morning
buffet piglets leave their tracks
one thousand dishes

Rain Dance (July 24, 2009)

another Friday
searching for comfort in tea
the first of many

Happiness and Hope (July 28, 2009)

bathing in sunlight
two patio umbrellas
provide shade in vain
