Let us

Let us ride balloons: /

Up to the heavens and moons. /

Light as grace and stars.

“Spring shadow”

Spring shadow

Frost etches brown leaves /

Clinging to the young oak tree. /

Ice shadows blue spring.

“Eleven stories”

Eleven stories

Eleven stories high /

Clouds become floating neighbors /

Winking through the slats.

Evening sky on fire. /

Incendiary and gone. /

Subsumed by the night.

“Solstice”

Solstice

Winter loves slowly. /

Its long shadows stretch like life /

compactly marooned.

“Holding”

Holding

Finger points gently. /

He holds forth under the tree. /

Santa says, “Not yet.”

“Moments”

Moments

Today’s sunlight peeks /

around autumn’s bare branches /

and sheds all its warmth.

“Molten”

Molten

Red, molten morning /

Umber clouds seethe in the sky /

Umbrage at the sun.
