south of the river . . .
all of these pear trees
in bloom

shadowy grove
outside the locked ward
a moonless night
neighbor’s funeral
dandelions ripple
vacant plots
a snipe perches
on the no parking sign
lingering heat
ladybugs
in a mesh bag –
storm coming
scenic overlook:
a single fire hydrant
in the pet area
daybreak-
the flowerbed full
of new mushrooms
leaky roof:
a wet friend
offers a loan
cool breeze –
squirrels examine
rain debris
watching a squirrel…
empty magnolia seed pods
slide down the roof
muddy lot
of the psychiatrist
winter drizzle
first snow
on the great wall
tourist tracks
