Night
walking to the car
mercury vapor street lamps
spilling blue green light
–
drizzle-
moths dance
in the streetlights

Beach
white scrims of sea foam
gauzy and delicate as
a dragonfly’s wing
–
seaweed-
sun dried by
the high tide line
White
the whiteness of bone
long buried in the desert
revealed by the wind
–
summer evening-
dogwood petals
in the grass
Test
this is a test post
one one which I will delete soon
please disregard it
–
swallowtails-
lines traced in
the august sky
Independence
canons and mortars-
our patriotic fervor
lights up the night sky
–
fireworks
the dog hides
under my bed
Hunt
above the highway
a red tailed hawk circling
riding the thermals
–
hunting-
an osprey plummets
to the sea
Evening
ephemeral rain-
bird songs echo from the trees
in the fading light
–
twilight-
a grove
of amber
Night
my open window-
from the red barn a white owl
asks me one question
–
transfixed-
the field mouse stares
at his death
Café
a sidewalk cafe-
lunch forgotten as a crow
lands on my table
–
al fresco-
a rain drop
in my coffee
Honey
droning bumblebees
flit from flower to blossom
gathering nectar
–
a young black bear-
prospecting
for gold
