wilting

flowers wilting

a four bottle cap

kind of day

bullfrog

wind gusts

a bullfrog croaks

in between

lifetimes

i lose count

of all the lifetimes

hospital windows

either

fence line

the sounds of dawn

on either side 

passing

wavelets

from a passing boat

my bare feet

window

the day begins

at my window

the day ends

bouquet

rainy evening

a bouquet of grey heads

playing cards

remains

heartwood

all that remains

after the fire

voyage

ocean voyage

the hummingbird returns

to my garden

husk

an old man stares

deep into nothing

cicada husk

scorched

dandelions

the sun scorched smell

of a city street

return

river walk

each day i return

to the sky

squabble

new school year

a squabble of crows 

on the playground

bread

Mayfly

Issue 63

Summer 2017

💚🌱

sails

where the river flows into sunset white sails

smile

a child's smile the sound of no shadows

moment

from lotus to sky

a moment's flutter

dragonfly

seaward

a hawk's spiral

the sound of morning

drifting seaward

alone

summertime the many voices but mine

laughing

river wind

the taste of laughing

in your face

doldrums

moss hanging

from an owl's talon

summer doldrums

moment

a moment

at my fingertip

shooting star

eyes

park bench

in the eyes of his dog

the old man

pause

the pause

before leaping

little squirrel

weeding

rising early

the sun's already there

weeding day

midnight

midnight sky

only the groan

of a bull frog

tip

tip of the storm

thunder fills the sky

with crows

dark

river sounds

what happens 

in the dark

before

fog lifting

the river before

the woodpecker

dolphin

ocean dawn

a dolphin rises

between us
