thumb out
on the side
of a dirt road
sunflower
hitching a ride
bank of the river
cottonwood tree
soaking her feet
waiting for you
on the longest day
of the year
(Summer solstice)
sunrise moon
sleeping
on the roof
cat shining in a tree
moon sitting
in the window
you were
the maple leaf I found
under the elm tree
tarot clouds
my future decided
by the wind
sand on my fingers
from where I wrote your name
my feet wet
with the ocean
that washed it away
the sun
winds up a white butterfly
then lets it go
all the stars
the color
of silence
I step outside
to take my turn
guarding the mountain
while the moon
gets some sleep
mountain walk
Christmas trees
five inches tall
twilight
river of blackbirds
in the sky
the sparrow
that wasn't there
a second ago
desert storm
juniper trees shaking their fists
at the moon
ferret sleeping
tail draped over
the crescent moon
stars
in their stocking feet
freshly-waxed moon
waxing moon
all the reasons time
slips away
the dawn
breaking
into rain
a leaf jumps
from sun-burnt weeds --
grasshopper
burning down the barn
one sunbeam
at a time...
red-tail hawk
the sound of cloud
against cloud
all rivers
start
in heaven
ducks dancing
to the music
of tires on rain
hidden in the grass
hissing at the sun --
garden hose
