sultry

the old black cat

thinks he’s still young

sultry evening

weight

homeless cat

the weight of a life

on my back

summer

summer evening

i brush the forest

through my hair

storm

from my window

an eagle harries

the storm

apples

sunlight in one 

then another window

peeling apples

abandoned

abandoned farm

in and out of time

the swallows

hole

old t-shirt

a mosquito finds

the hole

touch

cicada

a child’s

first touch

wind

saturday morning

the wind has its way

with me

day

as day climbs down

and up the tree

chameleon

fluff

cattail fluff

a dragonfly rides

the breeze

circle

new mown grass

blackbirds circle

the fragrance

shoes

    stone floor

  i remove my shoes

to know you

joy

rain at last

a tiny horse’s joy

fills the pasture

karma

karma

an oak seedling leans

the vine’s way
