​
first day at school— 
left at the gate
a teddy bear


flirtation— 
the snap dance
of a butterfly


end of summer— 
a single flip flop left
in the bicycle basket


knowing
where the blueberries grow— 
homecoming


new tattoo— 
​
she’s got you
under her skin

another birthday,
the open road still calls
but not as loud

my good friend Bill
drinks wine from a coffee mug,
that says it all

mismatched in height & weight
we both take 3 sugars

autumn wind
the busker's guitar
out of tune


sunset
the fruit bowl
full of oranges

​
starry night
flicking through
an old diary

summer revival
a cicada
thrums down the sky

cosmic strings
a daddy-long-legs casts shadows
onto asbestos shingles

a common swallowtail floats
through the hydrangea sky
deepening blue

sunset
the horizon bent under
the weight of peaches

dog days
the islands of the Susquehanna
lost in their haze

Shakespeare in the park
a red-winged blackbird becomes
the king of infinite space 

the sky
growing violet at the edges
crowcaw

golden hour
an evening primrose blossoms
into deep time

the press of blue on blue hydrangea moon
