diamonds sparkle
raindrops captured
on the screen --
tears of an old woman


* * *

goldfinch and tiger lily
the colors -- yellow and orange -- blaze!


* * *

spin cycle
rotation
time measured
cyclists click by
the hour curves round --


* * *

hugs and kisses
the fragrant herbs of love --
children play in the garden


* * *

yarns weave
needles click
and memory rests
her burden by the fire --











7/20/09


memories fall through
the fissures of my heart

cicada rubs its song -




7/16/09

whispery calm
descends

evening light pearled
a smell of
fresh melon



pine trees at dusk
are sad things

dark silhouettes draped
against the
gloaming--

storm coming on
seething, roiling
driven by north winds
but birds still sing!

across a moonlit sandy stretch

the scent of honeysuckle
slips by –



7/5/09


bright yellow dips
past the pines

goldfinch chuckles
at the thought of summer
