new year fireworks in a misty sky
tempslibres
late summer graffiti overgrown with ivy
tempslibres
a drop of ink - tadpoles wriggle on the water's surface
tempslibres
spring storm - the grey dawn briefly luminous
tempslibres
atop the high wall... the intertwining of barbed wire & roses
tempslibres
after brief rain... petrol rainbows appear on the tarmac
tempslibres
mist and rain- from the dark church we walk into light
tempslibres
uphill country walk... on the verge wild plants thriving in a carrier bag
tempslibres
fading light with its own tiny rainbow the lake's fountain
tempslibres
recycling point... one bin's slot is sealed with a spider's web
tempslibres
after warm rain... by the river the scent of garlic & earth
tempslibres
after the storm... stuck to the window two leaves side by side
tempslibres
concert in full flow... mingling with the music the smell of cooking
tempslibres
washing-up done- through netted windows a fading sunset
tempslibres
a ladder leans into the scent of apples ... orchard fog
tempslibres
brewing storm ... how the clouds stir in my coffee
tempslibres
skin mapping the familiar constellations on his back
tempslibres
only the glow of a paper lantern new moon
tempslibres
alighting on the edge of night barn owl
tempslibres
brussel sprouts only the bitterness left on our table
tempslibres
a touch of bluegrass ... spring
tempslibres
the noir of a beetle's carapace passing rain
tempslibres
bobble and bounce of the last marshmallow ... hot cocoa
tempslibres
cutting flowers ... a honeybee lingers in the empty space
tempslibres
the first scent of pink jasmine open book
tempslibres
wet wooly mittens drying by the hearth side the smell of wet sheep
tempslibres
the rhythmic lift of her childbearing hips high tide
tempslibres
another way out ... a backdoor slammin' in the wind
tempslibres
Beware of Dog only the wildest flowers go in there
tempslibres
the visual feast of the first plum blossom hunger moon
tempslibres
left behind his scent of aftershave on my cheek
tempslibres
wolf call in the distance ... ice moon
tempslibres
the hollow sound of sacred earth landing six feet below
tempslibres
winter wind a cradlesong sung in an ancient tongue
tempslibres
sun tea darkens— bees in the hollyhocks all afternoon
tempslibres
mud-spattered pickup- four dogs watch the tavern door
tempslibres
spring fever my heartbeat quickens through the avalanche zone
tempslibres
spring morning- the urge to skip and the wisdom not to
tempslibres
power outage hoarfrosted pines shimmer in moonlight
tempslibres
rumble of thunder- slicing just-picked peaches for the pie
tempslibres
spring fever my pockets full of old grocery lists
tempslibres
spring rain I read his letters one last time
tempslibres
the familiar wail of a common loon- your empty chair
tempslibres
Thanksgiving evening the call of wild ducks out on the bay
tempslibres
drumming rain a patchwork of dreams just before waking
tempslibres
the trail narrows- every shadow a possible bear
tempslibres
lingering grief- calls of southbound geese through misty rain
tempslibres
lingering light through the willows scent of rain
tempslibres
obsidian night the white sound of rain
tempslibres
a steady drizzle- all day the weight of things unsaid
tempslibres
sleet ticking windows-- the chemo drip in its last hour
tempslibres
evening shadows on the walls of the Alamo graffiti
tempslibres
dusty knickknacks I try to recall the scent of burning leaves
tempslibres
midsummer morning-- the boat's gentle tug at the anchor
tempslibres
an old woman with a lost look in her eyes-- chilled wind
tempslibres
woodsmoke and fog along the river bank three trails meet
tempslibres
searcher's call the lost child's name- streetlamps veiled with rain
tempslibres
journey's end far off in the blue distance dark clouds
tempslibres
ice moon- a berry branch forced into bloom
tempslibres
avalanche warning- how very still this winter night
tempslibres
our dusty truck- an Amish man walks barefoot across the village green
tempslibres
that long-ago kiss-- and still Orion strides the winter sky
tempslibres
bitter cold-- we don't chase the lone crow from the sparrow's food
tempslibres
deepening snow-- she leaves our atlas open to her homeland
tempslibres
warmed-over coffee-- the gray gray sound of winter rain
tempslibres
3:00 a.m.-- through sounds of winter rain the mail plane landing
tempslibres
no wind tonight across this reach of prairie all those stars
tempslibres
sipping fresh cider-- both dippers among the far stars
tempslibres
cool morning-- at the top of the rise deer pass in the fog
tempslibres
meditation room-- books of wisdom lean left . . . and right
tempslibres
turning north-- sand from both oceans in little jars
tempslibres
nearly 60 -- so many mountains around me still unclimbed
tempslibres
a B-52 thunders over the bay-- blue heron lifting
tempslibres
Sentinels of spring... kites bobbing for attention in saucy March winds
tempslibres
the crowd holding blossoms . . . thunder!
tempslibres
sifting shadows with remnants of rain
tempslibres
stars falling from the sky . . . autumn moon
tempslibres
making pancakes between whispers . . . morning mist
tempslibres
humid morning . . . words dangle from her lips
tempslibres
humid night . . . the darkness between your thighs
tempslibres
"upstairs swathed" "in neon
the"
lanternless night . . . a whisper passing through leaves
tempslibres
a slower moon this evening . . . the cold!
tempslibres
autumn depths . . . a mole dreaming of darkness
tempslibres
the egg seller . . . her cracked hands speak of winter
tempslibres
high noon . . . young girls harvest rice from a mirror
tempslibres
early spring . . . young women collecting peach blossoms
tempslibres
after midnight . . . a shooting star beneath the wharf
tempslibres
mid-summer . . . she shares with me a ripe melon!
tempslibres
no longer a "mirror this lake chasing"
geese into darkness
almost summer . . . eating an especially ripe mango
tempslibres
gusts of wind dancing together under a harvest moon
tempslibres
the fullness of ripe melons . . . this summer moon
tempslibres
summer leaves . . . remembering mother's dry skin
tempslibres
"a mountain " the stone buddha . . .
and cold food
daybreak your kiss on the lip of a coffee cup
tempslibres
the full moon and a rice field planted with stars
tempslibres
day moon . . . a paper lantern floating down river
tempslibres
kissing you under a paper moon . . . the stars!
tempslibres
cool morning . . . your smile pasted on a coffee cup
