the breeze is gone
but sunlight still sways
in the vines

troubled times
the grace of sunset
on a summer day

song

raindrops -
the first few notes
of an old song

dust

pond of dust
a butterfly's quest
for a flower

sundown

sundown -
hanging moss lets go
a summer breeze

edge

lost in thought
the sound of wavelets 
at the edges

found

below the pine
a treasure lost
found by moonlight

dry times
the old toad
burrows deeper

empty

high summer
empty clouds floating
in the shallows

haze

a fish breaks
the river's calm
heat haze

through

dragonfly wings
shards of sunlight
as seen through

the feather
just beyond my reach
a breeze too far

scallop shells the shape of an ocean breeze

quivering branch
an echo of
what i missed

heat

for a moment
the heat is so cold
deep south

leaving day
the child in me
wants to hide

summer sky
a warbler's voice
goes on forever

wilderness hike
the scent of his trail
the stranger

memory

summer firelight
the memory of a dog
nuzzles my hand

flutter

quiet afternoon
the barest flutter
of a toad's throat

tragedy

another tragedy . . 
evening curls quietly
in the pond

pixels

long ago summer
how many pixels
in a memory

the one

the one i return
to a salamander . . 
skipping stones

wondering

an open door just enough room for wondering

one by one
just the two of us

departing

strands
of
sun
cling
to
their
feet
departing
ducks
