Into the pond— the voices of several poets grow fainter.
Setting sun—each croak expressed with love.
Tree limb— morning rays, warm on the back.
Chicken in pursuit— I barely escape under the wire fence.
Stone outcrop— a fly comes tantalizingly near.
I hop to centre lane—an approaching car grows louder.

First mowing— I find a dog's gift in the lawn.
2nd birthday — she gets a furry white kitten.
He misses again another anniversary... third degree.
The Prof's lecture on the fourth dimension... she forgets the time.

Moon light— the cherry blossoms glow
bright pink.
The night light still on—
yet the kids are grown up.
A a lava lamp
from the flea market—
comes on, goes off.
A lit butt
tossed out a car window—
rolling, flickering.
A molten glass blob—
shaped with each puff.
Sip of rose
by a fireplace of embers
just you and me.

First time this year— pajamas not needed tonight.
Late night insomnia— grilled-cheese sandwiches.
Watching a re-run from the late sixties— sound of an owl.
Full moon— a train whistle echoes in the valley.
Trees stretch to the stars— I walk in the shadows.
Waking up from a deep, deep sleep— where am I?
