Lenard D. Moore

in the doghouse
the hound's hoarse bark—
winter thunder
Homecoming parade—
waxing my convertible
under the sparrow's nest
tick-tick 
of late night sleet— 
dog licking its paws
I open the door
to this morning's snow
its silence
bobbing and bobbing
on the jazz club wall—
the bassist's shadow
Watching the woman
who pulled back her braids—
summer sunset jazz
farmwife's marigolds
surging with the wind
the bee's shadow
a hummingbird shadow
in and out of window bars
mimosa fragrance
hot gust of wind 
carpenter nailing sunset 
into the plywood
A pile of rocks 
shifting in spring rain 
the stiff old man
the old woman 
looking into the stars
sky all snowy
a black woman
breastfeeding her infant—
the autumn moon
farther and farther 
into the mountain trail
autumn dusk deepens
