pictures of children
once on the mantlepiece
–now only of cats
Month: April 2016

my daughter smiles
into her baby’s eyes–
a long, big smile back
731
oak and birch
incarnate– a yearling
sniffs for acorns
730
how I spent my day?
Loki needed a sofa
for napping
729
showing butterflies
to grandbaby– one day
you’ll have wings, too
728
cats chase laser dot
no happiness here
only its pursuit
727
gone to a symposium
I missed the shadows
of dancing leaves
726
too lazy to hunt
fireflies at dusk
I gather ladybugs
725
rowdy robins, maudlin magpies
stumbling blue jays
the pyracantha bar
724
his tattoos, her tattoos
paintings that combine
upon their embrace
723
next door has roses
I open their gate
whistle for deer
722
a young girl
and kitten rub noses
on plexiglass
721
screaming for Jesus
my neighbors’ late night
religious experience
720
spring winds mimic
ocean surf
shaking my door
719
above a hospital
flights of white doves
rush into nightfall
718
swept up by a heron
the koi looks down
hey, there’s my pond!
717 R
beggar children make
offerings of mud pies–
Buddha bows
(Revision 2)
716
spring tosses petals
at my window– come out
come out and play
715.1
714
a spider flees–
even it knows
it wants to live
