No return
It feels good, Beth said. /
She snapped off dead lily heads, /
dropped them to the ground. /
This evening, I did the same, /
but she did not return.

But, first…
The Solstice has passed. /
Let us now speak of Summer. /
But, first, let us nap.

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.

Bowl
A bowl of berries /
sits on my kitchen counter. /
Picked between raindrops.

Beauty
The bonds of today /
loosed by tomorrow’s passions /
brings forth new beauty.

Bee collects pollen /
Across the sunflower’s face. /
Heat is time rising.
