Untitled Poem – Number Lost
Sitting reading diagrams
on December window frost
I shiver then bark
back at the neighbor’s
small dog

Chuck calls this self-portrait, Rock Garden Shadow
I saw this the other day by my house in the NEW switching and storage yard by my house. I was going to snap some photos, but Chuck beat me to it;
Good morning,
Here’s a couple recent photos taken near your place.
It shows military tracked cranes.
In my love of trains, seeing military equipment on rail cars is an added bonus.
I refer this area south of 14th Street as the south rail yard.
Don’t know what BNSF calls it.
I suspect this area will see more activity after the downtown yard removal.
Yeah, you are not kidding. (click to enlarge)
The blue rain
comes between
October and November
It is narrow and complete
unlike the evening news
glittering in the corner
Down I go……
