I shake the sand
out of my walking shoes –
early autumn rain

    Love the mood you have captured here, Maeve. I can almost hear a soft sigh!

    shallow root weeds grow
    as tall as today ,
    a pile of broken sundial

    stair step
    wood grain ripple
    where rain’s dust gathers
    – a sparrow
    takes a summer bath.

    fawn
    running for a moment –
    sink water on hands

    autumn leaves
    flying high and out of reach
    the many words I knew
