his buddhist chanting
continues on the toilet
and thru the crosswords

hanging up my clothes
old sagging and frayed clothesline
next door machines hum

wildflowers and flax
grow on a tumbled shed’s roof
what I’ve built of life

spring uncloaks herself
lays down a robe of flowers
embraces the land

birds come house shopping
I’ve one with a garden bath
reasonable rates

pain of raising kids
dew glistening on fresh grass
a passing solace

pianissimo
on rooftops and leaves
a whistling kettle
2301
rubbed smooth and round
rocks from the river
piles of tortoises

shadows of tall elms
skid marks and a bouquet
the twisting highway

my spouse’s soulmate
purring love into her ears
claws and fangs for me

fish sleep under ice
foxes winter in their dens
cats curl by the stove

my poor toddler
buttons always misbuttoned
socks always mismatched
