July
On a hot July, /
on a sidewalk, abandoned, /
the stuffed monkey bakes.

Summer dreams can be /

Trembles
The hot earth trembles. /
The clouds open with cold rain. /
The creek ebbs and flows.

Reflect
The mirror reflects /
what was on the outside, /
not what is inside.

Give
Love, but do not own. /
Live, put do not possess. /
Give, but do not expect.

Your garden
I pluck the deadheads, /
the day lilies that have died /
and I remember.

Clouds arch
White clouds arch upward, /
brushing the lips of heaven. /
Pleasantries exchanged.
