water seeping
from a sunroom amaryllis
the storm outside

a yearling
inching into the field
woodland shadow
as if
it had split the boulder
pine seedling
first colored leaves
boatmen on the river
ship their oars
summer grasses
an old blue car
without doors
small talk
a few leaves
remain in the trees
who can tell
from which tree they come
autumn wind
autumn fish market
all in a line
eyes toward the sea
remaining heat –
footprints to and from
a sandcastle
reed cutting –
the stream together again
after a rock
raised voices
a summer moon
in the estuary
unable to sleep-
a neighbor’s wife
looking into the street
rattle of the fan-
on the windowsill
a waxing moon
moonlit camellias
cafe conversation spilling
into the street
treetops
obscured by fog-
children at play
a mud hen
gliding into the reeds
tall trumpet lilies
dawn beach
a feral cat creeping
across the parking lot
cloud break
the smooth shadow
of a cactus
winter dusk
the magician
produces a dove
stuffy museum-
doors to the Beetle Hall
opening and closing
