Journeys
Sadness, hope, and smiles, /
journeys end as they began, /
sadness, hope, and smiles.

“Illusions”
Illusions
I hold in my hand /
the seeds of my illusions /
and the blooms of yours.

“Tiger lily”
Tiger lily
No, Mr. Baker,
it is not an
invasion.
It’s a Tiger lily.
The invasion comes
a few days
later
with beer and
outdoor cooking.
That’s when
the aliens
—grill your meat
—light your fireworks
—conflagrate and celebrate
your auto-da-fe future.

“Up”
Up
Thunder teases /
up among the deaf, gray clouds. /
Dreams await relief.

Sky
The evening crow caws. /
The breeze nuzzles sunflowers. /
Clouds slid against the sky.

Sunflowers shed. /
Golden petals fall on leaves
anointed by death.

One hand clapping.

Photo finish Friday: “Lost”
Lost
Wet, folded lily, /
lost glove at a funeral, /
empty of embrace.

“No return”
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.
