melting away my pain— garden dew
(from The Heron?s Nest, Vol. XV, No. 4, December 2013)
Month: April 2018
with no thought the goshawk carries a mouse to heaven
our last dinner date
the bones
picked clean
the way rain begins our second thoughts
sushi bar
making eye contact
with the koi
loneliness…
my spit draws
more minnows
he holds her hand
a tad longer than needed
bangle seller
wildflowers
the friends we make
by chance
meant for each other
this light
and the daylily
eye exam
in the dark he compliments
my retinas
(The Heron’s Nest, XVI:4, December 2014)
tilting my head
to see the rainbow
in a spider’s web
ladybug
up a stem and back
quiet afternoon
drunk?at noon
in my next life make me
a honeybee
the wind’s
distant tang
wildfire sunrise
neon motel sign —
concrete slab scoured
by desert wind
the vast west
railroad cars decouple
in the dark
commuting to work the iambs of trains
self-employed
I set my watch
by the sundial
Supermoon
the night sky
surrenders
born this way …
the orientation
of winter stars
