Diaz Tree Service

harvey gable

 
Thomas Diaz
most days
in the basin
sun swung
from atop palms
a stubby machete 
smartly trimming 
spent brown fronds
eyeing each as
they wisped
and rattled
to the ground. 
 
Below Thomas
traffic 
generally residential 
stop-n-go
would often
thru  (glare aside)
window glass offer
in mundane
domestic repose 
a feminine array of
make-up applicators
school-kid toters 
and an occasional  
loose robed
grocery getter's 
rumpled cleavage
display.
