Rowboat
oars carve the water-
echoes of my lover’s voice
from the other shore
–
pale skin freckled-
fingers threading
through the water

Passing
one flame extinguished
while another adds it’s light
to the firmament
–
eyes downcast-
black armbands
wet with rain
Summer
searing hot asphalt-
children splash in the water
from a cracked hydrant
–
heavy branches-
in the shade
a rope swing
Blue
frosted azure skies-
the curves of a white dragon
taken by the wind
–
pencil thin clouds-
the ocean reaches out
to touch the sky
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
Shoreline
a weathered rowboat-
mooring line gently slapping
up against the dock
–
children jumping
from the pier-
lakeside
Hunt
above the highway
a red tailed hawk circling
riding the thermals
–
hunting-
an osprey plummets
to the sea
Ash
a viking long boat
trailing ash and smoke floating
towards valhalla
–
central park-
cigar ashes on
the chess board
Evening
ephemeral rain-
bird songs echo from the trees
in the fading light
–
twilight-
a grove
of amber
