Swallowtail, herald

of summer: from yellow blossoms,

one flower takes wing.

your day's plans an improvement
on staying in bed?

Of course I write from personal experience.

Hide the body in

the woods.  Explain nothing.  Wait

for more instructions.

of spring's first dandelions:
cheerful anarchists.

August



Dragonflies hover,
swirling over the prairie:
jeweled armada.

Moonrise



To watch the moon rise,
cats follow me.  In past times,
we would have been burned.

No One Steps In The Same River Twice





Each moment, a new
river flows, born of living
springs and distant storms.

Branches of scarlet

quince, early to bloom, brighten

the eye and spirit.
