summer 2010




thunderclap!
the sound of summer
breaking up




cornsilk...
her arthritic fingers
still nimble



a motorcycle's roar
splits the night —
half a dream



old bark peeling away the years



all those doors
I never opened...
rosebud



skirl of the pipes —
sunset colors drain
from the clouds



fragile summer...
the smell of death
in the water




sandals crunch stone against stone longest day




laundry day —
the backyard willow
dripping shadows




first star...
where does forever
begin?




a spurt of sunlight
after the rain shower —
the gardener's smile




pastel twilight —
I listen for echoes
he left behind
