watching clouds the white petals of a crushed crocus
tempslibres
smells of spring adrift in the morning air bubbles under ice
tempslibres
after the rain moon and stars underfoot
tempslibres
70 mph the infant snores a bit slower
tempslibres
winter night finding my pajama bottoms on my wife
tempslibres
putting a cork in last night's wine late autumn
tempslibres
the glass jar full of fireflies bedtime
tempslibres
evening sky counting some fireflies more than once
tempslibres
smell of rain - soft ridges of mint leaves oil my fingers
tempslibres
blackbird song - the name of a daughter i'll never know
tempslibres
November fog; not a tree to be seen.
tempslibres
Purple loosestrife; pale in the lingering mist.
tempslibres
A cold morning; the pink of tulips through the mist.
tempslibres
Harvest moon dancing with my husband in the living room
tempslibres
a movement of deer into twilight suddenly spring
tempslibres
fireflies competing with a full moon summer solstice
tempslibres
the way grass parts as the pheasant passes spring's end
tempslibres
moonlessness-- so many ways I want to touch you
tempslibres
earth day-- even the shadows at dusk smell green
tempslibres
fading right before my eyes morning moon
tempslibres
light rain "on sweet sweet clover"
late summer's dusk
winter rain the confusion in her voice all over again
tempslibres
morning moon filling up my window autumn's end
tempslibres
summer's end the tenderness of light
tempslibres
after loving-making scent of wild clover through the window
tempslibres
after the dream the scent of approaching rain in the dusty air
tempslibres
park bench she puts acorns in his ears
tempslibres
supermarket on a Sunday morning Stairway to Heaven
tempslibres
roadside a strip of painkillers empty
tempslibres
before the bridal party unfashionably early rain arrives
tempslibres
a crack in the pavement yellow freesias
tempslibres
piece of a butterfly wing – autumn chill
tempslibres
a crow on the wire silent rain
tempslibres
old park bench i touch our initials each time i pass
tempslibres
new housing-- hammer and saw replace the dove's coo
tempslibres
christmas services a cellular phone rings out handel's messiah
tempslibres
no island in the bay today morning fog
tempslibres
stop sign thru the bullet holes ghetto moon
tempslibres
desert garden frosted lettuce leaves in the pink dawn
tempslibres
iceman last night's freeze on the clothesline
tempslibres
winter rain the sheets where she slept grow colder
tempslibres
giant moon. . . the bark of a dog echos over the fence
tempslibres
crystalline sky the pioneers left no clue which trail to take
tempslibres
willow scent a kingfisher hangs in the air
tempslibres
desert heat- smiles along the narrow road to the deep north
tempslibres
spring trek a rusted snowplow at roads' end
tempslibres
sweet basil dried snail tracks crisscross the window box
tempslibres
Arizona "road stop rest the dog sniffs"
yellow snow
a moth flutters over the candle flame . . . damned idiot
tempslibres
still water . . . the undercurrent in her voice
tempslibres
November winds the dog finds dead birds in the hedge
tempslibres
highway fog- the honking of geese homeward bound
tempslibres
desert wind- iron and copper flavor in my coffee
tempslibres
spring day- the wall clock still winter
tempslibres
appalachian spring- carbide carbuncles in the coal oil light
tempslibres
moon hare- bloody gloves lay on the ice
tempslibres
frosty dawn- the dog watches me pack my bag
tempslibres
campfire coffee. . . condor wings glean the first rays of sun
tempslibres
arctic air soothes the desert heat . . . blended whiskey
tempslibres
slate skys chalk mark outlines on the sidewalk
tempslibres
peach moon . . . the thin slice left for us
tempslibres
grassy moon we slip off our shoes to count the stars
tempslibres
garden embrace the fresh smell of her sun dried laundry
tempslibres
kitchen embrace the smell of her hot apple pie
tempslibres
farewell embrace a faint essence of mothballs
tempslibres
montana morning the horses with their backs to blowing snow
tempslibres
street light sway ~ dreams of her linger with the storm
tempslibres
Sack of cheeries ~ clouds grow dark on the road to the coast
tempslibres
salmon sunrise a splash resounds over the calm bay
tempslibres
farmer's market she paints a flower on a child's cheek
tempslibres
tandem bicycle wind in our hair a shared laugh
tempslibres
misty morning echoes of blue jay cries through the pines
tempslibres
fresh brewed coffee cream and sugar swirls she stirs in her thoughts
tempslibres
spring breeze blowing dandelions in circles
tempslibres
dry haystack flames climb higher against the night sky
tempslibres
rainy morning the haijin stirs sugar in his coffee
tempslibres
alabaster moon ~ glowing among bare pine tops in cool mountain mist
tempslibres
kissing her slowly where the rain never falls
tempslibres
lyrid meteor shower— a blooming apple tree at dusk
tempslibres
scramble of house sparrows— a conference call with my sisters
tempslibres
negative test— blooming narcissus in the trash pile
tempslibres
alone at day’s end driftwood
tempslibres
catching up after forty years— dust devils
tempslibres
another birthday— watching the long ash on the incense
tempslibres
blistering heat a faint breeze moves mountains
tempslibres
a magnifying glass on the map of kyoto— faraway so close
tempslibres
her blind date— not enough spice in the ratatouille
tempslibres
before the rest of the world awakens iris shoots
tempslibres
penumbra around my shadow hush of dusk
tempslibres
barbed wire around the abandoned orchard— swollen buds
tempslibres
standing stock-still : the deer & me
tempslibres
afternoon tea empty garden pots fill with snow
tempslibres
scattering wild aster seeds— autumn rain
tempslibres
cold rain i move my coffee closer
tempslibres
california poppies-- the faint scent of asphalt
tempslibres
no word from an ill friend— leaves falling
tempslibres
thunder moon— long-awaited rainstorm rips through the arroyo
tempslibres
thunderstorm— clap of skateboards in the park
tempslibres
neighbor’s clematis on my side of the fence free love
tempslibres
the roshi’s incense-smoked robe weight of winter
tempslibres
