white

hissing softly

sleep comes to me

a white noise

mingle

over water

their sounds mingle

city and bird

traffic

yellow traffic light

i continue on

with the crows

libre

entrée libre

the new moon plays

five thousand stars

wren

a few seeds

for your song

river wren

reflections

reflections

a turtle slips

into mine 

sunbeam

quiet morning green tea steeping in a sunbeam

traffic

fading into the scent of jasmine traffic sound

promises

promises as empty as dark clouds passing

snake

fern shadow the snake becomes one

toll

the toll taken

by our footfalls . . 

pet cemetery

river dance

river dance

the silence behind

a school of minnows

off key

not caring

my voice is off key

redbirds at dawn

tweeting

2 a.m. tweeting

the recklessness

of night birds

indignation

empty feeder

the indignation

of squirrels

wild

fence line 

flowers go wild

on both sides

storm

the storm

the old black cat

the window between

jasmine

walking the dog

we choose the path

with jasmine

last nut

spring drought

a squirrel buries

one last nut

born

wavelets

born of a boat's wake

their soft sound

rising

rising

the pill is moonlight

in my palm

high road

morning commute

a squirrel takes

the high road

thoughts

a penny

for my thoughts

moon river

palm

palm fronds

over and over

the wind

rune

trail sign

a rune of claw marks

on an old oak

resistance

beach combing 

a daydream finds

little resistance

refuge

refuge -

in a room of white

a window of birds

calm

between

takeoffs and landings

the pond grows calm
