later

summer rain

i leave the dishes

for later

shape

stormy night

the cat molds me

into her shape

perfect

the perfect word

tickles my tongue

dandelion seed

sunbeam

in a web

my breath flutters

a sunbeam

seasons

rainy season

warm air tastes

of life and death

 

blue

bluebird at dusk

the tone of its song 

slightly bluer

 

watching

watching a sound

the bobcat becomes

the forest

 

strum

as strummed

on an old tin roof

morning rain

 

summertime

the cat goes out

morning sneaks in

summertime

 

grace

uneasy day

the grace of mountains

drifting through clouds

 

summer

through the woods

summer arrives

with an owl

 

rhythm

fog settles

one leaf finds

its own rhythm

 

kestrel

pierced

by a kestrel's cry

the day's soft sound

 

landscape

summer woods

a landscape of

hidden moments

 

fluent

late spring

fluent now 

in green

mirror

mirror images

grey-green mountains

frame my face

 

one

a snail's life 

one step

too far

 

nothing

june twilight

blackbirds on a wire

doing nothing

 

quiet

quiet evening

to a bumblebee

i am a flower

 

mosey

morning hike

i mosey up-mountain

on four legs

 

empty

almost summer

the breeze riffles

my empty page

 

few

for a few seeds  mountains of birdsong

 

whimsical

whimsical

the leaf falling

in the wind

 

but

june evening

everyone's here

but the fireflies

 

empathy

more bad news

the empathy

of a sunny rock
