23rd street runs into heaven 
a bird to take you south
a little mercy
a sky the wrong color 
a story that could be true 
all the bricks in baltimore 
almost anyone
another memphis blues
another name for gone 
augustine creek
california
conceived in texas 
cracks in the sidewalk
devil's postpile
division street 
dogtown
down here
down from sacramento
dreamland
east of the river
eight ball
empty pockets 
evening sky 
even trade
familiar mysteries 
folding chairs
go ask the rain 
grand junction
halfway there 
hank williams 
i want everything 
i'll take all the blame 
independence day

July 21, 1946 - November 7, 2011

for those who cry
for no one
& those who
dress in black
gone by fire or
gone by ice
or else
just gone off track
those of us
who leave too soon
or the ones
left in between
i won’t pretend
i understand
these familiar
mysteries

kitchen table look
LA

looking south
lost hills
miles from here
never look back
next best thing
orphanage trees
other voices
perfect fit
rivers still rising 
room to spare 
santa rosa
seventh day
short on words 
single file
sleep faster
sleeper on a westbound train 
steel rail nightingale 
the last black and white tv 
the only train
the way it didn't go 
this house
three hours ahead
throw you out of heaven 
thunder & light
used cars
used to the dark 
waterproof
what other people lose 
what side of town 
wheels
where it all begins 
who's breathing all the air? 
won’t be tomorrow 
wooden nickels
