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.

A farewell
A kiss. A cloud.
A farewell I say to you
my last sleep’s dream.

Viewpoint
From a dog’s viewport, /
one dog to another,
summer is a rose.

Tilt
Do you run like Mercury? /
Straight arrow to the end? /
Is you love like Venus? /
Head over heals to begin? /
Are you a quarter way over, /
Mars tilted into battle? /
Or are you Uranus, /
Cockeyed like a rattle? /
Jupiter tilts only slightly /
As the mighty often do. /
Saturn, Neptune, and Ol’ Earth /
Bend as if they’ve had a few, /
Hanging out with Mars, /
Swapping stories, one or two. /
All the planets have stories /
And each an angle of repose. /
That includes Pluto, to whom /
Some have turned up their collective nose.

Reaching
The blue of evening /
cradles the quiet moon’s rise. /
Silent flowers wave.

Early
Early are the winds /
when they are just a breeze /
building from a thought.

Free floating radicals
The clock floated free; /
the jack, the pawn, and the car /
left their roles behind.

Touched
Touched and touching, /
bent toward the sun and each other /
memories and life.

Bouquet
A bouquet of rain /
gathered by the day lilies /
offered to the sun.
