Step lightly
Raise your leg higher /
Keep your foot above your heart /
Step lightly on air.

Surgery
Surgery divides /
flesh, bringing forth life’s pulse that /
only the heart heals.

Hope
Desiccated leaves /
Fall murmurs through the breezes /
Hope, too, rides the air.

Horses
Abandoned horses /
Rusted metal, squeaky wheels /
Corralled for new home.

The edge
At the river’s edge /
Waters smooth my ragged soul. /
Rocks, though, on their own.

Giants with cooking tools /
Meant to serve mankind.

Summer work anew /
sprouting from seed to flower /
to pollen to bee.

One bee said to another. /
Flowering friendship.

Control
I have lost control. /
My son, the basketball, swings /
freely in the park.

Ripe
Ripened in the sun /
Hot pepper resting and red /
Summer spiciness.
