Adieu to August--a potpourri

"'Morning"
the only human word
on the trail
~~~

quiet, 3-block street
a short cut used for
dirt-hauling dump trucks
~~~

on the last page
of my journal ... flagging
story ideas
~~~

riddle: a yard full
of dogs, but none bark
or bite? (plaster casts)
~~~

first love ...
the way a new book's pages
crackle
~~~

a fine line:
being there for someone
and being used
~~~

Eureka Springs:
the tolerant town that lives
on tourism
~~~

Alzheimer's victim
murdered for the Cadillac
she couldn't drive
~~~
