blizzard from the north?? the buffalo turn to face the white
sballas
school reunion failing to recognize the winter goldfinch
sballas
always making something out of nothing the brilliance of crows
sballas
mid-winter the stillness of the sardines in the tin
sballas
a gazillion germs in a sneeze yet more stars
sballas
winter gulls the grit of sand in soap
sballas
the big dipper my dog keeps searching for the right spot
sballas
swollen moon the winter diet of comfort food
sballas
office aquarium the fish and i in different boxes
sballas
a pawn sacrificed keeping the game alive this freezing night
sballas
stuck in the eddy autumn sky
sballas
persimmon sky two blackbirds puff up their silhouettes
sballas
two attempts at the trouser leg new year's day
sballas
snow squeak the longest branch bounces with sparrows
sballas
slideshow our winter vacation the white wall
sballas
last autumn colours?? the cloister fountain keeps singing
sballas
antler clash the moose lock breaths
sballas
the soft blur of sleeping swans . . . winter light
sballas
first star my son says he knows the speed of light
sballas
deep winter i lose my list of things to do
sballas
skylight raindrop holding jupiter and the moon
sballas
lovemaking?? over his shoulder the moon
sballas
the cricket's song what's left of the moon
sballas
autumn zephyr my daughter imitates a maple seed
sballas
autumn woods my last walk as a bachelor memorizing vows
sballas
wind-blown sky a dragonfly's grip on the clothes line
sballas
autumn orchard the oval of a basket imprinted on the grass
sballas
morning cicadas a vine reaches into open space
sballas
horseshoe pit a yellow maple leaf leans on the spike
sballas
the vermillion glow from the pistachio trees?? i knew your father
sballas
"ears over eyes " the pigs stretch out
in the evening sun
village fair . . . insects fly round and round a tube light
sballas
her heart on her sleeve firefly
sballas
keep off grass the tut tut tut of a sprinkler head
sballas
wind waves through the tall wheat missing her
sballas
cockatoo roost the last light of evening folded in the hills
sballas
starry night . . . a black rhino fills the water hole
sballas
bare feet the child squelches through a cowpat
sballas
summer squall lily pads hold the pond in place
sballas
wild mustard scent a bed shared with sisters
sballas
aroma of coffee in the morning breeze my new lover
sballas
catch and release a little shine left on my fingers
sballas
shimmering lake how unimportant what's important
sballas
cloud castles the music we heard just air
sballas
alone in the bush just me and a blowfly
sballas
skinny dipping mayflies shed their skins
sballas
illuminating motel wallpaper headlamps
sballas
rain from the west sifts through the porch screen?? the evening cool
sballas
dining alone the festival lights keep a regular beat
sballas
in our face the dog shakes off the ocean
sballas
narrow road the clash of umbrellas as we near the buddha
sballas
the world a blossom i make up a song for my dog
sballas
morning mist a parrot asks my plan today
sballas
the puddle deeper than i thought empty mailbox
sballas
the wren's empty nest just a little less of the moon
sballas
blue whale the outstretched arms of a toddler
sballas
first day of spring a puppy at the pet shop wags itself
sballas
spring! a bug i don?t know looks me straight in the eye
sballas
still some snow on the upturned canoe seed hulls
sballas
colorless wind the ashes that don?t scatter
sballas
crayon map my son shows me the way to neverland
sballas
part street light part moon light?? first kiss
sballas
the taste of smoke in the single malt . . . autumn deepens
sballas
turning leaves he flips a penny into the sun
sballas
a medevac helicopter passes low?? scent of autumn leaves
sballas
fading light . . . pink-footed geese wade into the sun
sballas
chimney smoke the long straight rows of cornfield stubble
sballas
a lullaby turning to whisper . . . moonrise
sballas
two dragonflies riding the screen door autumn deepens
sballas
ghost of a white gazebo night rain
sballas
counting the lines on my neck?? magpie song
sballas
cornflakes soaked with milk all the leaves have fallen
sballas
"mallet to chisel " chisel to stone . . .
the north wind
last moon of summer . . . the bottom falls out of the pitch
sballas
cicada shell the space behind its eyes
sballas
moon the light in the shade of an unlit lamp
sballas
old growth mountain two red dragonflies couple and uncouple
sballas
full moon the silence of birds expanding
sballas
the hand that touches mine from tree to tree the path of wind
sballas
wind turbines grind the sunset summer's end
sballas
well-trodden rut a line of heifers watch me pass
sballas
they speak of my doppelg?nger . . . autumn's first chill
sballas
indian summer?? a black bear grazes the shriveled berries
sballas
dark lagoon a thousand years of tree frogs
sballas
the crows choose headstones july heat
sballas
fireworks?? her handprint evaporates from the cold glass
sballas
hydrangea?? over tea mulling the idea of utopia
sballas
rain forecast spittlebugs at the nodes in meadow grass
sballas
between two farms "one of barley one of wheat"
the old battlefield
windless day one ripe tomato drops from the vine
sballas
brilliant moon?? sharp shadows of lemons on the stone steps
sballas
a dry riverbed cloud shadows moving down the canyon
sballas
in ten summers the convict's first visit dragonfly
sballas
home for christmas the tree losing needles on fake snow
sballas
as i turn the page napoleon leaves moscow fading winter light
sballas
year's first moon the widow turns her mattress
sballas
winter night?? i dream in monochrome
sballas
"finally good news??" the reflection of my face
inside a tea bubble
dumpster the iridescence of starlings
sballas
snowy night drinking tea from my hometown
sballas
