tsukimi
summer’s wilting terrace
hangs on dusk
cherry petals . . .
steaming the folds of
creased linen

bluebell woods the meandering scent of this river
bouzouki
our wine bottle filled
with wisteria
pawned guitar
someone's initials carved
into the bridge

southward geese a ribbon flutters out of reach
dusk
mockingbird calls—
will anyone answer?
dozing lizard
I tilt my face
to the sun

after the storm only river and sky
backpack skies
every step home
it grows lighter
- Details
lights out: the sound of sleeping monastics and mating frogs
infinity of
stars, crickets
and the two of us
evening walk
with a lifelong friend
scent of figs
- Details
an empty nest
at the fork in the tree
depth of winter
summer solstice
daylilies
fill the divide
fireflies flitting
among honeysuckle
summer’s on!

june sky
opening up another can
of blue paint
empty pails
the path from the beach
lined with shells
