sunset clouds the decoy's touch-ups in a different hue
sballas
geese going gone . . . the thought of filling my father's shoes
sballas
shanty town?? the jagged edges of moonlight
sballas
koi pond how we imagine immortality
sballas
nuclear disaster the heads of state share a cucumber
sballas
cyclone warning the cracked red paint glistens with rain
sballas
spring day the cord zings back into the vacuum
sballas
downwind the breath of lemon blossoms
sballas
butterfly lingering on the breeze her first kiss
sballas
village road . . . the jingle of bullock carts in the mist
sballas
spring day announcement said no flowers
sballas
progress . . . the cobweb repaired where it crosses the gate latch
sballas
dogwoods the stench of baby questions
sballas
dancing above the hedgerow just her hat
sballas
water upon water a spider into the bud
sballas
easter morning . . . three silos on the horizon
sballas
an eye in the window of a birdhouse
sballas
the pause he takes on his flute?? spring rain
sballas
age 88 all the whatchamacallits in the spring wind
sballas
third day of snow neighborhood kids build a rhinoceros
sballas
winter morning two butterflies warm the garden
sballas
narcissus . . . my heartbeat races towards its end
sballas
a setback in her treatment frost-tipped lavender
sballas
new minister . . . gutters guide a spring rain back to the earth
sballas
march snowmen?? picassos appearing on front lawns
sballas
miles of silence a chill on my thigh when he changes gears

snowmelt the caw of the crow returns to the hickory
sballas
snowdrops surround an empty snail shell pale day moon
sballas
tsunami . . . untangling my knotted rosary
sballas
post-op the holy medal's features imprinted in my palm
sballas
hunter's moon the gator's eyes hold the light
sballas
more space for the raven's voice winter sky
sballas
cloud dragon eating its own tail?? epiphany day
sballas
muted sunlight the crisp corners of the folded flag
sballas
last light prying a pigeon from the dog's mouth
sballas
frost-sparkled paddock he digs the grave a little deeper
sballas
winter solstice reading glasses to see myself
sballas
winter pear my breath condenses on the knife
sballas
autumn trees . . . getting her to do the talking
sballas
end of harvest pulling out the leaves of the table
sballas
secondhand bookshop red wine stains in the
sballas
autumn sun?? "map in hand i search"
for my grave site
urban planning . . . a row of poplars at ear-level
sballas
full moon the scent of cocoa butter on her baby bump
sballas
remnants of daylight the wind rattles with old mustard
sballas
mourning the mask the mime
sballas
the knife sharpener on his bicycle?? falling leaves
sballas
fish scales on the serrated knife catching sunset
sballas
aspens in a circle twilight
sballas
wild mustard?? to all the wishes wished here add this one of mine
sballas
revolution?? i slice the lemon into itself
sballas
harvest moon the circus disassembles pole by pole
sballas
first day of school my son brings home his peach stone
sballas
summer stars my children ask me to name a favorite
sballas
a white feather without a bird flies by
sballas
urban sprawl a huddle of hard hats and a dead tree
sballas
too far away to see the flag full moon
sballas
fragrance of cedar he tucks the twig behind her ear
sballas
temple bells . . . the clink of coins in ceramic pots
sballas
i check once again for any missed calls?? intermittent rain
sballas
crewelwork the musty scent of geraniums
sballas
high sun ants to the top of the okra stalk
sballas
august rain the one bitter almond in a whole bag
sballas
nailing roof iron with my father's hammer . . . the echoes
sballas
attic light dust rising from the dark in the magic hat
sballas
ebb tide mangrove roots hold a downy feather
sballas
dentist's window birds picking out the sunflower seeds
sballas
low tide dusk collecting in the shells
sballas
the snow melted fences reappear between neighbors
sballas
nuthatch headlong down the oak vernal equinox
sballas
spring morning doing something new with pink scarves
sballas
straggles of mist ancestors evaporating in a highland dawn
sballas
all that stirs in the river's womb spring rain
sballas
log split a moth flies out
sballas
spring shadows?? new razor for the teenaged son
sballas
first swallow of the season modigliani's woman longing for it
sballas
resurrection sky mother somewhere between here and there
sballas
one year on . . . a black-faced sheep grazes the regrowth
sballas
winter shadows adding water to the last of the soup
sballas
snow beginning to drift my mother shares memories she never had
sballas
midwinter night between the swells beyond the surf
sballas
meandering along the ice cracks . . . a midnight moon
sballas
camphor flame a mother directs her child to pray
sballas
winter roses father shows us photographs he no longer sees
sballas
deep winter how often we opened windows to persimmons
sballas
here other than wind's lamentation nothing is
sballas
winter stillness?? turkey tracks frozen in the ice
sballas
reconstructing a field mouse?? owl pellets
sballas
late fall?? squirrelways in the canopy
sballas
gifts from my mother unwrapping them with their shadows
sballas
sipping tea . . . pine needles brush my window
sballas
left soaking in dishwater the long night moon
sballas
bright winter night my head made of glass
sballas
dry leaves?? between each step a silence
sballas
"no season word " yet autumn pervades
her suicide note
solstice light i take what is offered
sballas
log fire the steady click of knitting needles
sballas
new year's eve?? the harpist's fingers glide toward midnight
sballas
autumn begins . . . the crack of an acorn beneath my shoe
sballas
the morning moon accompanying me to my new job
sballas
