december dusk
i will never visit
my grandparents' birthplace | sballas |
sunrise
performing what i imagine
tai chi to be | sballas |
not getting the whole story?
this ladybug
on my page | sballas |
carrying on
as if nothing had happened
dogwood in bloom | sballas |
morning frost
invitation to a white
wedding | sballas |
hot afternoon
the shoe seller kicks a butt
into the canal | sballas |
pebbled beach
no sound skips
into the new year | sballas |
starry night
pills snug
in their bottle | sballas |
twilight?
the scent of clover
in her hair | sballas |
mountain overlook?
we speak
in whispers | sballas |
tall ships
the rifted sky
closes . . . opens | sballas |
in the shade
of a towering oak
acorns dropping | sballas |
a grackle not as black
as the memory of
grackles | sballas |
a river of corn lilies
divides the meadow
yellow butterfly | sballas |
high tide
the taste of salt
on your lips | sballas |
under the voices
of summer birds
raven | sballas |
muggy sunrise
the brown spider crawling
up the web | sballas |
green shoots
in the cherry tree's shade
last year's cherries | sballas |
midsummer quiet
the cascading shades
of mountain ridges | sballas |
a gap
in the leaf shadows
summer moon | sballas |
one tree without buds
last year's
empty nest | sballas |
crescent moon
my old knees
creak up the stairs | sballas |
another
dead camera battery
fading peonies | sballas |
morning heat
a swallowtail drifts
into the blue | sballas |
cherry bush
drooping with fruit
sparrows and finches | sballas |
one vanilla scoop
moon rising over the
brooklyn bridge | sballas |
winter slump?
wearing out the fabric
of my easy chair | sballas |
framed
in the kitchen window
venus rising | sballas |
easter incense
the prayers i never learned
in latin | sballas |
shoveling snow . . .
a wind gust halos
the street light | sballas |
one white sail
on the horizon
silence between waves | sballas |
tracing the fades
of the spring river
the wagtail's tail | sballas |
sundown
the slap
of a beaver's tail | sballas |
clouds racing
a sundog
disappears | sballas |
iris garden
the sisters pose
in purple dresses | sballas |
hangover . . .
an empty beercan
fills with rain | sballas |
bus stop
the conversation takes
a strange turn | sballas |
the fireworks
the constellations
summer heat | sballas |
the weight
of late sunlight
peach boughs | sballas |
father's day
picking up
the same broken shells | sballas |
power failure
watching the moon
instead of tv | sballas |
outside goodwill
a new pair of old jeans
and the blue sky | sballas |
balancing
on a blade of grass
nightfall | sballas |
january . . .
cat turns on
the electric blanket | sballas |
evening fog
the crack of a home run
from the ball park | sballas |
main street
a sign points the way
to the cemetery | sballas |
chipped nail polish
the red
of a leaf falling | sballas |
half-empty bottle
whiskey trembles
at a touch | sballas |
fireworks
home from the war
my uncle flinches | sballas |
autumn damp?
old leaves composting
in the back lot | sballas |
empty bleachers
a sparrow takes a dust bath
behind home plate | sballas |
walking in flip-flops
on top of the leaves
indian summer | sballas |
rainy day
the street musician's
empty tip box | sballas |
poverty
no matter where you go
the moon | sballas |
no exit sign
the door scuffed
with boot marks | sballas |
silhouetted trees
against a hazy moon?
end of vacation | sballas |
full moon
lemon slice floating
in my teacup | sballas |
black elder
shakes its shadow loose
early snowfall | sballas |
snow melt?
a puddle
of lost mittens | sballas |
west coast sky?
the cat dreams
of catching eagles | sballas |
beachside
after iced tea
"his cold | cold kiss" |
manhattan
bus doors clossse
with a hisss | sballas |
doctor's rounds
a frantic search
for her good teeth | sballas |
on the railing
a leaf hopper studies
my pen | sballas |
wading
out into the creek
water lilies | sballas |
grandma's coffee table
the yellow green orange
of old jelly beans | sballas |
dawn chorus
the sky surrendering
its indigo | sballas |
through a slice
in the sunset sky
new moon | sballas |
chinook's in
melting snowman
loses face | sballas |
tree-shimmering pond
the jazzband wavers
through birdland | sballas |
veterans day
removing his prosthetic arm
at the airport | sballas |
old camp road?
plumes of dust eddy
in the heat | sballas |
snowflake
the moment before it melts
his smile | sballas |
knee deep snow
hiking all the way
to the mailbox | sballas |
strolling policeman
even the spider hides
behind the bench | sballas |
back from war
the soldier cleans
his room | sballas |
day moon
the call of a goose
from the south bank | sballas |
twilight lake
a solitary loon dives
into itself | sballas |
alight
bend pivot shudder flutter
bye | sballas |
open air stage
in the moon's spotlight
a dancing moth | sballas |
small town
idling at the red light
horse & buggy | sballas |
winter beach
two herring gulls dip
into sunrise | sballas |
river sunset
above my head a circle
of buzzards | sballas |
new self-knowledge
a sinkhole to the right
of the path | sballas |
inuksuk
first??????one
then??????????many | sballas |
outdoor theatre
watching the crow
watching the play | sballas |
midnight thunder
zigzag lines cross the sky . . .
the crack in my mirror | sballas |
blending
with ice fog . . .
my breath | sballas |
the wind through
wild plum blossoms
deeper breath | sballas |
"ice cream
basketball"
'subway not fast enough | for one-day weekends |
time enough to read
this
one second added | sballas |
shape of the afternoon
a dog shakes
its checkered coat | sballas |
snow angel
the shadow
of a raven's wing | sballas |
january thaw?
we are speaking
again | sballas |
winter ball...
instead of her hand
i kiss her mitten | sballas |
hunger moon
even my dreams
empty | sballas |
the
smell
of snow | sballas |
not yet winter?
the ptarmigan
already white | sballas |
summer apples dangle
"up
down | side to side?" |
dream
of a lost moon
snow light | sballas |
