Lost
Wet, folded lily, /
lost glove at a funeral, /
empty of embrace.

“No return”
No return
It feels good, Beth said. /
She snapped off dead lily heads, /
dropped them to the ground. /
This evening, I did the same, /
but she did not return.

“But, first…”
But, first…
The Solstice has passed. /
Let us now speak of Summer. /
But, first, let us nap.

“Street seen”
Street seen
I wore shadows.
She wore light.
We met in the street.
The breeze played at painting us together.
The sun declined to stay.
For a moment,
As the light faded,
raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,
We were as one.

“The Tong Dynasty”
The Tong Dynasty
King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /
King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’. /
“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /
“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /
Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /
Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /
King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /
They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /
Godzilla thanked Kong and went on his way. /
Thus, civilization was saved that day.

Summer clouds to sky /
Sand to beach, water to sea /
Embrace your beauty.

“Bowl”
Bowl
A bowl of berries /
sits on my kitchen counter. /
Picked between raindrops.

Beauty
The bonds of today /

brings forth new beauty.

Their story ancient, /

exchange pleasantries.

Across the face
Bee collects pollen /
Across the sunflower’s face. /
Heat is time rising.
