Sunday

warm morning birdsong-
my love asleep next to me
aglow in the sun

robin song-
curtains sway in
the morning breeze

Blindness

dusting the knickknacks-
doing my best to ignore
the crumbling walls

afternoon light-
fresh paint on
cracked concrete

Shadow

a field of shadows-
the bargains made with myself
so swiftly broken

a full flower moon-
silver shadowed
daffodils

Evening

under a clear sky-
if only this cloud of gnats
would leave me in peace

venus rising-
our picnic blanket
wet with dew

Mayday

the first day of may-
tight buds become blossoms on
my crabapple tree

a flush of new green-
daffodils trumpet
the first of may

Après

a passing shower-
drops of moonlight patter on
our shared umbrella

the taxi gone-
three long flights
to your apartment
