milky way

almost sunset a parasailer with a rainbow

 

ash-throated flycatcher the pale-yellow hitch in its song

 

eyebrow piercing the hushed whispers of strangers

 

five-decade rosary each morning blackbird a prayer

 

her sparring gloves
the sudden pop
of a pink peony

 


how the light catches leaves song sparrow song

 

poems on the cover a stamped heart

 

shifting dunes
no need to pedal
with a tailwind

 

train station goodbye the pain between them
