last day of school . . .
paper butterflies
unpinned from the board | sballas |
skinnydipping??
river current streamlining
my body | sballas |
nightfall . . .
blowing out
the marshmallow | sballas |
the faint shine
of camellia buds . . .
winter moon | sballas |
not a bride anymore
still the plum
blossoms | sballas |
lambing
the smell of wet sweaters
fills the barn | sballas |
spring downpour . . .
so many words
for rain | sballas |
cattle lowing . . .
a clod of earth
clings to the fork | sballas |
sunny wall
the marks of time
on my skin | sballas |
the valley's browns
still edged with white
tinkle of the beck | sballas |
spring rain
my garden
still in packets | sballas |
more rain
i know i know i squawk back
at a jay | sballas |
lilacs in bloom
a clerk washes
the town hall windows | sballas |
north dakota border
slosh
of the greyhound toilet | sballas |
my son's birthday
a red poinsettia leaf
flutters to the ground | sballas |
clear cold night
my dog barks
at his own echo | sballas |
restless night
the threadbare edge
of her quilt | sballas |
winter blues??
the harmonica man plays
for wall street | sballas |
moldering leaves??
the wind blows me
deeper into winter | sballas |
winter sunlight
the birdsong that lingers
in evergreens | sballas |
caught in a lie??
icicles shatter
on the stones | sballas |
waiting
becomes living
late winter | sballas |
tossed up
by churning waves
a painted open? sign | sballas |
without you is better
oak leaves rattle
against the moon | sballas |
driving to the airport??
the smell of dog
lingers on my hand | sballas |
sea-scuffed cave
the peregrine's cries
lost to the firth | sballas |
a sales call
my only conversation
autumn loneliness | sballas |
father asks
if it's time to go??
cricket song | sballas |
hometown
the hug
of the hills | sballas |
october evening??
"somewhere
a scrub jay" | keeps asking |
death anniversary
prayer flags drip
in the rain | sballas |
remains of pine
filling with twilight
a coming going world | sballas |
sunrise over the lake
the pregnant woman
swims on her back | sballas |
sound of rain
the faded e? on
the internet caf? keyboard | sballas |
deep night
spending some time
putting stars together | sballas |
rocky shore
waves break
the gannets? huddle | sballas |
toothache??
a woodpecker comes
to stab the suet | sballas |
tide life
spitting back part
of the beach | sballas |
moon
the way it looked
when i was young | sballas |
the feel of a stone
through the pickaxe handle??
forked lightning | sballas |
drawing me
to the edge
canyon wren | sballas |
cigarette stubs
in ashtrays
in old photos | sballas |
an ant
carries more than its weight??
morning prayer | sballas |
summer opera??
her fan stops fluttering
during the main aria | sballas |
creak of floorboards
the musty shop smell
of ancient redwoods | sballas |
the drought year
written in flies
on the river-bed | sballas |
cliff dwellings
my perspiration salts
ancient stone | sballas |
my 73rd summer
the shadows
of butterflies | sballas |
dog days
the wind harp's
lost chord | sballas |
chanting over . . .
the rustle of peepal leaves
in the temple | sballas |
swelter . . .
the brick carrier's hod
heavy with shade | sballas |
deserted street
the hot wind rolling
an empty can | sballas |
morning mist
the squirrel
swaps poplars | sballas |
spring rain
the cleaner everyone likes
comes to say goodbye | sballas |
pink dianthus
two parasols bend
to the scent | sballas |
one song
answered by another
ocotillo blooms | sballas |
mango season
married long enough
to eat in silence | sballas |
a silent stirring
in the wood anemones??
white butterfly | sballas |
rush hour
the smell of green onions
on the cross-town bus | sballas |
soft breeze
a hyacinth
fills me | sballas |
skunk cabbage
i?ve decided
to say nothing | sballas |
fossil forest
your cheek against mine
for a photo | sballas |
scarred by skates
the spring ice
moans | sballas |
slow train home
a man skims ecclesiastes
on his kindle | sballas |
that yellow bird's back
how we end up
where we do | sballas |
it must?ve happened before
a drop of spring rain
in my green tea | sballas |
spring sun
i wait for the snake
to move | sballas |
perennial . . .
the garden
i dream of | sballas |
loblolly pine
the scent
of grandfather's diary | sballas |
dandelions
all these clothes
that don?t fit | sballas |
so lightly
a morning rainbow disappears
in the rice paddy | sballas |
kite festival??
the startling red
of a cockscomb | sballas |
a crow cleans its beak
on an ice-covered bough
early morning sun | sballas |
her illness
beyond our care
winter birds | sballas |
deep snow
hoses curled
under the sundeck | sballas |
morning prayers
the suet cake
pecked thin | sballas |
everything
we have in common
plum blossom rain | sballas |
a nursing home blanket
over all her sharp edges??
midwinter | sballas |
the difference
a sparrow makes??
bare branches | sballas |
deep winter??
a seal skin tacked
to my neighbor's door | sballas |
new moon??
my friend coming out
of her dark phase | sballas |
do we all
mark time
with blossoms | sballas |
a crow pecks
at something small and still . . .
autumn dunes | sballas |
she salts the soup
without even tasting
??autumn sky | sballas |
sculpture garden
the way the blackbird sings
from the metal tree | sballas |
winter solstice
cranberries popping
in the saucepan | sballas |
new year's eve
the lights of crab boats
evenly spaced | sballas |
the uncarved faces
in the pumpkin fields
diagnosis day | sballas |
autumn mist . . .
the homeland i know
only in dreams | sballas |
nightfall
a freezing wind brings
the chimes of goat bells | sballas |
a star
it's only
light years | sballas |
each of us
with a story to tell??
winter stars | sballas |
summer ends
the wallah takes down
the raincoat array | sballas |
fine mist
he says frogs
i say crickets | sballas |
kindergarten drama
the leafy sea dragon
sheds her sleeves | sballas |
top down day
a yellow leaf
drifts in | sballas |
the old ball field??
a turnstile
going nowhere | sballas |
autumn twilight
the boarded up window
of the tree house | sballas |
melancholy
runs in the family
sparrow song | sballas |
heron in flight??
the rowing coach
claps out a rhythm | sballas |
