parting

parting

the water’s darkness

alligator

dream

living

the dream 

i wake to rain

rain

rain peepers

the old water wheel turns

for a moment

gnats

record heat

day ends with a yawn

full of gnats

through

between live oaks

through hanging moss

sunset comes

queen

as if queen  summer unfolds the day  before me

life

careful

edge of things

careful not to step

on the sounds

missing

i use my finger

to draw what’s missing

cloudy night
