long stemmed lavender
a haven for the bees
less so the greenhouse

paintings
stacking up on the rack
all needing titles.
There's one book I've used
to title my abstracts
since nineteen eighty-six
William Kotzwinkle's "Doctor Rat"
which had permanent residence in the studio.
Tine to bring him out again
the psychopathic doctor
experimenter of delights
in a modern world.
