the red-wing glides
into shade

between
green and gold,
a hint of cardinal
ruby wings flash
above diamonds
in morning grass
early blossoms --
even the sun can't help
as they fall to the ground
A lone buterfly
searching for it high and low
the hidden flowers
early sun
the footsteps
that i dont hear at noon
nice. clean & sparse like new mexico. good job.
railyard dawn
spent sterno cans litter
the tracks
passing train
in the doorless boxcar
a sallow face
