Eye

Upward bound, birds /

fly through the gray winter sky, /

under an eye of blue.

“Fading”

Fading

A shield to the rain,

oak leaf upturned on the street,

fading on asphalt.

Sometimes

Sometimes, what I see, /

heavy yet light in the sky, /

are moments of you.

September begins. /

Many sunflowers are dead. /

The bee still finds work.

Shade

The spring tree gives shade, /

even on a cloudy day, /

sometimes from the rain.

“Poised”

Poised

Wide-eyed cat above,

poised in a dogwood tree.

Icarus waiting.

Cauldron

Through the evening sky, /

without wings, these cauldrons fly, /

roiling, rumbling by.

The Iris blushes /

only for the color, not /

for embarrassment.
