old

feathers in the wind  an old duck preens  for no one

tattered

last flower

the butterfly, too

is tattered

scones

autumn morning

shaping sunlight 

into scones

shadow

river rat

the shadow within

an owl’s voice

fluff

cattail fluff

i brush the day

from my hair

leap

two pines

a squirrel’s leap

between seasons

bananas

pressing ‘blend’

i cross my fingers

overripe bananas

heat

a squirrel runs

across the asphalt

heat haze

crickets

sleeping with wind waking with crickets summer love

after

after the storm

the sound of wind

dying in the trees

wherever

border wall

the wherever 

of wild asters

i

tropical wind

orange butterfly

and i

after

storm winds

the everywhere

of after

leap

squirrels leap

between treetops

the morning moon

blue

a quiet sky

a barrel floating

blue together

geese

a pond of geese

on the putting green

tropical storm
