Cat, no hat

One cat. One evening. /

Nourish

A spring bird’s nest /

nestled among young blueberries. /

Life nourished twice.

One foot in the grave. /

One foot on today’s damp soil. /

Flowers gather round.

“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.
