Gouache
curling photographs-
remnants of an age gone by
taped to my mirror
–
sepia trees-
winter morning’s
gentle light
Category Archives: Morning
Fishing
boots in the water
my line slack on the surface
suddenly pulled taut
–
low morning light-
steam rises
off the lake
Slide
icy drops of rain
slide past my ear and linger
down along my chin
–
parking-
raInbows slide
towards the drain
Solstice
the solar transit
far to brief indeed on this
winter solstice day
–
winter reborn-
I depart and return
in darkness
Pond
a thin skin of ice
on the koi pond slowly melts
in the morning sun
–
floating leaves-
autumn carp swim
in lazy circles
Flags
heads bowed in respect
under an overcast sky
the flag at half mast
–
rising winds-
halyards ring
the flagpole
Valley
filling the valley-
bright sunlight captured in the
autumn morning mist
–
slanted sunlight-
in the canyon
a river of fog
Venus
rising from the sea-
her newly formed shores made from
black and steaming glass
–
predawn chill-
venus and jupiter dance
in the twilight
Chill
sheets of winter rain
wrung from the lowering sky
sideways in the wind
–
morning run-
frozen leaves
crack underfoot
Graveside
aimlessly searching
for a place to lay my bones
when the light fails me
–
fresh engravings-
the morning sun
on frosted stone
