Broken
Broken objects can /
not break treasured memories /
embraced in the heart.

Holding
Sunflowers live, then /
sunflowers die, each bloom holds /
life’s brief monument.

Heat
Squirrel prostrated /
By the heat: flaccid, empty, /
Victim indiscrete.

Work day
Bee has no time clock. /
Only sun, life, instinct, work. /
Grace in the effort.

Taste is Summer
Dance, proboscis, dance.
Nectar of the cone flower
sways with your summer.

Out there is in here. /
Rain, turmoil, thunder, lightning /
Pain, grief, love, release.

The sky
The clouds above me /
Form around a dust whisper /
Cry into the night.

Tune
A thousand gray clouds /
can be banished from the sky /
humming your own tune.
