valentine's day
his dog drops driftwood
at my feet | sballas |
breaking the ice
i tell the cattle
it is almost spring | sballas |
last days of winter??
a jumble of tarnished silver
on the sideboard | sballas |
older suburb
woven through
with wild plum blossom | sballas |
as i reflect
on growing old . . .
daffodils! | sballas |
winter twigs??
the buds forming
at the scars | sballas |

on a starling's throat | sballas |
her third birthday
tulips bend
under a light snow | sballas |
waking up
not alone
cherry blossoms | sballas |
farmers? market??
on the mangoes in the straw
a strand of tinsel | sballas |
pinging sleet
she tugs tight
each stitch | sballas |
the bootprints end??
the brook keeps flowing
into the deep woods | sballas |
dark so soon
a stand of pines
with snow-broken limbs | sballas |
warm from the dryer
summer clothes
for the suitcase | sballas |
christmas concert??
mary keeps the beat
on the baby jesus | sballas |

over each other's heads | sballas |
if purple
were my color . . .

the sterile flower
of queen anne's lace | sballas |

in polish | sballas |

of dinosaurs | sballas |

almost touch across the creek
a dove's flight display | sballas |
sultry night
the rhythm of oars
stroking the lake | sballas |
clipping tags
from luggage . . .
summer's end | sballas |
rolling in
with the morning fog
seabird on a wave | sballas |
mist into rain
the drone of a small plane
blends with our chanting | sballas |
headwaters
the dipper's shadow
follows its call | sballas |
out of names??
we sit silent in the dark
among the stars | sballas |
autumn dusk
the gates of the lock
close behind us | sballas |

a day laborer bent
over his shadow | sballas |

hemlocks all around | sballas |
wildfire
vultures circling
the outer thermal | sballas |

ants working late
in the afternoon sun . . .
a drifting contrail | sballas |
the milky way??
a glowworm reaches
the tip of a rose | sballas |
sultry afternoon??
wingtip laces
work loose | sballas |
deep in summer
the river over and under
my hair | sballas |
on the sergeant's grave
a wild jackrabbit
nibbling grass | sballas |
cabbage butterfly
floating in the breeze
laundry day | sballas |
big sky
the sharp edge
of the spur | sballas |

unravels | sballas |
blinding ice

the scent of pine | sballas |
spring cleaning??
i never cared for the scent
of her letters | sballas |
his sax echoes
in the walkway tunnel
warm wind | sballas |
a wildness
blowing through the neighborhood
with the snow | sballas |
cold morning
a thin cat slips in
the closing door | sballas |
the wrong side of town
a paw print
collects water | sballas |
cactus bloom
i decide to forgive
myself | sballas |
cold spell
the man at the ballot box
reading nietzsche | sballas |
both parents
in his room
snowy evening | sballas |
this cold night . . .
a child's hunger embedded
in pixels | sballas |
cold winter sky
intertwined branches
of an old beaver lodge | sballas |
the reddened snow

a dumpster's lid
slams shut | sballas |
the long sigh
of a pregnant girl
december wind | sballas |
frozen solid
two withered leaves
overlap | sballas |
snowy field
a small creature's tracks
interrupted by wing prints | sballas |
a russian winter??
each book weighs several pounds
on the kitchen scale | sballas |
autumn dusk
i wave to a girl
waving to someone else | sballas |
first time up this creek

won?t keep still | sballas |
crescent moon
the beaver shreds
a lotus leaf | sballas |
moonlit grass
a farmer whistles catfish
to the surface | sballas |
our locked gate??
earth stops the falling
leaves | sballas |
mushrooms tilting
into each other??
misty rain | sballas |
a place under
the willow tree??
autumn rain | sballas |
autumn mist
in the beggar's hand??
his empty stare | sballas |
autumn evening
her seventh rejection
of my proposal | sballas |
