withered corn
the runner in last place
turns it on | sballas |
mountain music
the poverty
in minor chords | sballas |
thanksgiving
we have the wind chill
to talk about | sballas |
cold snap
a bite
of the radish | sballas |
miles to go . . .
the grazing
roadside deer | sballas |
squirrels chasing
each other . . .
i am still alive | sballas |
shadows
drifting into the garden
the hunter's moon | sballas |
perseid shower??
tiny green apples
dot the lawn | sballas |
child's grave
from birth to death
the moon | sballas |
old stream??
the moon floats into
the blue hour | sballas |
squabbling squirrels
i no longer remember the names
of childhood bullies | sballas |
indian summer
a kid drags his backpack
in the dust | sballas |
yellow leaves
her 30-step hopscotch
in pink | sballas |
down the street
and back again
october wind | sballas |
ancient courtyard
bagpipes and drums pulsate
through the cobblestones | sballas |
ochre moon
the road-train's light
in the kangaroo's eyes | sballas |
readying for bed
i open the shade
and let in the moon | sballas |
sun low
chins rested
on the losing oars | sballas |
dusk??
sandpipers jab
the foam | sballas |
outside the wake
cigarettes
dot the dark | sballas |
autumn chill
the cracks i don?t
step on | sballas |
autumn light
the cantor sings
a sinner's prayer | sballas |
almost a moon
the weight of the glass
as it empties | sballas |
my sister's side
of our childhood
moonlit night | sballas |
early autumn
the old priest
trembling with tolls | sballas |
shared grief
the splash of oars
in the fog | sballas |
snap of a clipboard
in the all-day workshop
the heat | sballas |
heat lightning??
christmas beetles
spangle the fly screen | sballas |
yet again
by the river
a pair of knickers | sballas |
old pond??
if only my face
would stay so smooth | sballas |
bamboo bending
in the wind??
i bargain for mangos | sballas |
know-it-alls talk
through rolled down windows
dusty road | sballas |
village festival??
the last firework
joins the moon | sballas |
aftershock
a tremor lingers
in the dog | sballas |
waning summer moon
mom and i
compare hands | sballas |
summer's end??
a dog-chewed stick
by the edge of the pond | sballas |
cocktail chatter
fruit flies sally
glass to glass | sballas |
bottlebrush in bloom
there was a time in my life
when i wore red | sballas |
breathless quiet
of a summer evening . . .
ship in a bottle | sballas |
forested ravine
just enough light let through
to gild a ripple | sballas |
wildflowers
today's news the same
as yesterday's | sballas |
hummingbird
with the wave of an arm
i work out her tattoo | sballas |
never more open??
the precision
of a water lily | sballas |
tangled roots
at the high tide line
a white feather | sballas |
sunset stretched shadows
a strawberry seller holds out
the day's last box | sballas |
where words
fall away
all of the lily | sballas |
summer solstice
the old canal lock
cranked wide open | sballas |
fragrance
fills the gap
between the flowers | sballas |
bullfrog moon
silence goes
where the heron goes | sballas |
crashing waves
our footprints meet
in the sand | sballas |
shiny
tin can
maybe peas | sballas |
teashop table . . .
i watch rain drops
pop on the road | sballas |
irises open or closed
the round mouth
of the iron bell | sballas |
starry night
the space in me
she fills | sballas |
sound of a car
hitting the manhole??
all-day drizzle | sballas |
believing
she loves me . . .
the blue of the sky | sballas |
all night rain
she begins with
?let's talk? | sballas |
brisk breeze
the wayward kite stretching
a boy taut | sballas |
graduation
a bee crawls on the cap
in front of me | sballas |
barnacles
persist along the pier . . .
our second honeymoon | sballas |
my future . . .
from beyond the fence
sheepbells | sballas |
dry season ends
the scent of wet earth
saturates me | sballas |
class on the quad
my eyes drift
to the afternoon moon | sballas |
thunderhead
flies return quickly
to cantaloupe rinds | sballas |
13th birthday . . .
wild rose buds
angled out | sballas |
childhood home . . .
my climbing tree's
phantom limbs | sballas |
spring morning
i decline the offer
of a draw | sballas |
fountain pool
all the circles
where the coins used to be | sballas |
no wind
no breath to lift the sails
baby swans | sballas |
the flag at half mast
orchard blossoms fill
the bigger picture | sballas |
getting acquainted
some wild mint
in the garden | sballas |
in a nut shell
there is never
enough room | sballas |
how to dress her
for eternity??
blossom rain | sballas |
on hold??
the rain
turning to snow | sballas |
hill climbing??
with each step beech leaves
younger and younger | sballas |
bend in the river
swans introduce their young
to the flock | sballas |
migrating geese??
the things we thought we needed
darken the garage | sballas |
looking
not looking
roadkill | sballas |
each streetlight
with its own rain??
click of mah-jong tiles | sballas |
the first night
the bright star's
below the horizon | sballas |
news of her death
on the night table
the book unsigned | sballas |
hummingbird flight
the swiftest movements
are invisible | sballas |
the last
stair step??
breathing the sky | sballas |
an empty chair
beside me??
crickets' requiem | sballas |
softly at first
on a swollen wind
voices in the rain | sballas |
harp music . . .
wild pear blossoms
in the teacher's window | sballas |
ebb tide beach
so much to be treasured
left behind | sballas |
twilight beach??
a full moon rises from
the darkening sea | sballas |
late summer
one floating leaf
already red | sballas |
late summer clouds
a light breeze rustles
white hydrangea | sballas |
first frost
golden foliage holds
the sunlight | sballas |
a faint silver line
arches the night sky . . .
moonbow! | sballas |
gray summer sky
seed-beads sparkle
on a blue silk thread | sballas |
a final splash
while the light holds . . .
golden shafts | sballas |
clear sky
how much she loved
the color blue | sballas |
sunlit hilltop
she gently sets down
her daisy chain | sballas |
school closed
fireflies gather
under the willow | sballas |
this lambent light
over autumn fields
southbound geese | sballas |
"morning glories
"
"butterflies | " |
no last goodbye
so soundlessly the turtle
returns to the sea | sballas |
