sure

so sure
of the road i'm not taking
midday sun


like that

just like that
a gull leaves me
the purple dusk

wake

in a city's wake
the quiet fragrance
of an empty shore

footsteps

swamp sparrow
i run out of footsteps
just beyond

trail

river of grass
how quietly the day
takes my trail

answer

an eagle cries
the sound of my voice
answering


almost

sunrise
the green quiet
almost a song


Monday, May 25, 2015

free

windless morning
a petal flutters free
the rose


Saturday, May 23, 2015

pause

without pause
a river flows into
the sound of rapids


Friday, May 22, 2015

sunrise

speaking crow
a mockingbird's
sunrise service

snail

as if nothing
my morning plans
to a snail

what i love
about this day
first honeybee

pieces

an owl's path
so many pieces
of broken song


Monday, May 18, 2015

lost

longer days
the echo of wavelets
lost in gulls


Sunday, May 17, 2015

pause

ruin in the woods
a perfect rosebud
pauses me


Saturday, May 16, 2015

new

a new friend
morning is strange
in the mist


Friday, May 15, 2015

stone

river walk
in my hand the stone
too lovely to skip

heart

spring sound -
an old heart
still trembles


Wednesday, May 13, 2015

take

without care 
an eagle takes 
the silence of vultures 

Tuesday, May 12, 2015

eyes

cave
depths
crawling
into
the
eyes
of
a
skunk

off key

that one frog
slightly off key
wild oranges


Sunday, May 10, 2015

still

water's edge
the legs of a fawn
still quivering 


Saturday, May 9, 2015

reason

fence line
for no reason
a waiting sparrow


Friday, May 8, 2015

calm

afternoon heat
a patchwork of lotus
calms the pond 


Thursday, May 7, 2015

shape

blackbird shadow -
the shape of wind
playing the reeds


Wednesday, May 6, 2015

time

lizard tail . . 
the time it takes
a dreaming cat

mayflies

mayflies . . 
my newfound love of
tortillas 


Monday, May 4, 2015

found

fifteen minutes
from nowhere
found by stars

dusk

the scent of dusk
is it always this sweet?
mating season


Saturday, May 2, 2015

just

just as
the branch falls
frog on a lily

fireflies

may day the calligraphy of fireflies
