codependent
a flaw
deep in the diamond
Month: January 2018
February rain . . .
yet still the sparrows playing
beneath a parked car
the soft knocking
of my pulse
on his pillow . . .
valentine’s eve
moonrise
a bullfrog
greets the dog star
stillness
the kayak
breaks
the river’s
glassy skin
one cast
after another
measuring the brook
sunset fishing the flood tide catching the light
solar eclipse
I fill my wheelbarrow
with sunflowers
autumn equinox
the truck driver clicks his tongue
at a passing dray
(1st Prize, The Martin Lucas Award, 2016)
twining the tendrils
of peas through the trellis
the sweep of the sun
high-plains hut
the swirl
of the milky way
our small fire
through a hole in the clouds
the only star
the high meadow
a cicada’s whine
sharpens into silence
