bare hands

bare hands

in garden soil

earthworms

point

no matter

your point of view

jasmine hedge

heat

summer heat

even the vines stop

creeping

twilight

twilight mist

a dove murmurs

in the palm

hallelujah

deadfall  a flower’s  hallelujah

empty

scattering sun drops 

 an egret comes up

  empty

before

after the storm

before the frogs

water music

worth

river wall

a crab shell’s worth

of raindrops

time

milkweed plant

the time it takes

two caterpillars

bumper

my bumper crop

of bumblebees

community garden

cucumber

cucumber vine

a bee belly-deep

in a sunbeam

prayers

dust

upon silk flowers

prayers for rain

grave

for your grave

these hands i use

broken crow

dry spell

water bucket the weight of a dry spell
