a chill ~ just before the drizzle wind chime notes

chasing bubbles near the floating moon a paper boat

warm afternoon a fly with nowhere to go

a teacup to fill my afternoon
tempslibres
my day measured out in teaspoons
tempslibres
November moon the last ball of cheese in the fridge

night of meteorites -- enjoying the sound of rain instead

no wind in the wheat autumn equinox
tempslibres
my same walk in reverse autumn equinox

tempslibres
only one side of the conversation cemetery walk
tempslibres
a letter addressed to whom it may concern cold moon

back from the sea this familiar rain

tempslibres
snow cover . . . the remaining panels of a greenhouse

new moon . . . the thud of a walnut
tempslibres
Perseids . . . somewhere a cow calls for her calf
tempslibres
summer solstice unrolling dust with the blinds
tempslibres
just beyond the candle's reach . . . fireflies
tempslibres
200 miles . . . this plum blossom on my windshield
