throb

returning boats

the riverbank throbs

with their waves

sound

morning walk

a swallow tail kite

makes no sound

light

southern star

time is light

between us

mercy

mercy comes

as a white bud

wildfire

breath

seeking calm

i take deep breaths

of twilight

sigh

in my hands

the turtle sighs

road crossing

sharing

a glass of wine

grandmother and bee

sharing dusk

dark

swamp dark

a fish falls back

into itself

chasing

chasing a song

until it disappears

unknown bird

promise

empty promise

even the day

sometimes

last page

the last page

of my favorite book

leaving day

own

wild flowers

at last i've grown

into my own

berry way

empty mailbox  the berry way  i walk home

moon

summer moon

window to window

the black cat

coolness

scraps

heaven and earth

on scraps of paper

the poet's life

explosion

july twilight

i sit with silence

amid poetry

while somewhere else

missiles explode

senses

my tea

your coffee

summer rain

tremble

between showers

spots of sun tremble

with wildflowers

dance

eyes closed

as my ears dance

with evening sounds 

nothing

again i wear

much of nothing

mountain haze

story

summer breeze

a story written

in meadow grass

faintest

the faintest tick

of moments passing 

valley fog

later

summer rain

i leave the dishes

for later

shape

stormy night

the cat molds me

into her shape

perfect

the perfect word

tickles my tongue

dandelion seed

sunbeam

in a web

my breath flutters

a sunbeam

seasons

rainy season

warm air tastes

of life and death

 

blue

bluebird at dusk

the tone of its song 

slightly bluer

 

watching

watching a sound

the bobcat becomes

the forest
