Storm's Ending

rains cease, clouds closing
rising to sun, blue by sky
encased and dismissed.

Bright Day

Glare,
thin limbs,
wind drifting,
sun melting straw
autumn’s frost
golden
flares

Tree and Cloud

Upward strains brittle
limbs, arid tree lifts grey age
drifts down love's pure grace.

Summer's Day

blue sky, golden plain,
fading hills filled with light -

with summer’s living flame.

Night Plows

lights glare, clouds rise, flare
in the night, blades split earth, fur-
rows before the storm.

Wooden Valley Vintage

swollen grapes
extracted flame

fresh blood shed
sweet fruit entombed

stacked casks
fragrant gloom.

First Rain

black spots
on pavement gray

steps
filled full,
candescent day

overburdened sky
no longer
denied.

Hummingbirds

hummingbirds dance

falling and rising
high to the top
of the apple tree,

to where I cannot reach.

Black-jay

Black-jay
falls to verdant earth

searching
living soil as

soft rain
soothes the bitter truth

of being.

Reverie

Your breath

your voice
summer soft
lost in sleep

I dream
your whisper

rushing across
my bare
neck

your breath
