june cloudy after rain evening
red red geraniums
kiss’t by hummingbird’s
beak
unseen wings beating
in time
beyond belief
my footfalls on the poach
send him
flashing figure eights
iridescent bottle green
around the yard
i turn my key

sultry new summer air
I swim through
currents of cool
or warm and wetter
embrace me
june’s breath

1
This tall tree
dams the river where it fell
across
gravity
pushes pulls a new
path around
water’s weight and
flow
prevail
2
tiny
rufous hummingbird
repeatedly throws itself, thumps
against nest’s nearby windows
fearing self’s reflection
as other
repeats
protective instinctive reaction
towards self-destruction
or
must
move away and turn, turn
turn a new direction
3
finally May first
the earth inhales the sun
relaxes
– no longer
stiff contracted and protected from
the cold and dark –
branches release their reserves
exhaling
leaves and flowers
4
cleaning my house
i let go
the weight of
too many
precious possessions
to protect
possibilities abound
in
clean and empty space
5
May sun
high noon
breaks bright through grey clouds
reflections
refracted off water drops
hanging
saturated segmented serrated
needles and leaves
wet
concrete ground
each layered surface shining
enlightened
before the rain
returns
washing the world
dull without dimension

only this moment
eight o’clock
sunday, april 24, 2011
the daylight almost gone
my window
half glass
half mirror
face floating in the cedar
bedpost in the fern
chandelier hangs from budding branches
dusk dark lines
sprawling up
against the lambent sky

cut pink tulips
your gift
strong stems
slipped slowly into
my sliver vase
spiraling green sword
leaves
five days after
stems pulling water
overextended reaching
still growing
twisting towards April light
pale petals
opening, revealing
gesture gently
tips flushed
blushing crimson
soft kiss of spring

february morning
sunday rain
a week’s worth
of snow
unfixed
loosened and
unleashed
waves of
washing water
i get wet
Saturday march 12 2011
9:30 am
day-light savings time’s
overcast belies
a higher angle
unseen sun’s occluded
brightness
hope of oncoming spring
I see blue crocus in winter’s leavings
life renewed

my mother’s needles
hold memories
her
now two years passed on
i learn to purl
under over
knit purl
i move these knots
casting on and off in patterns newly understood
imagined
staying up late
stitching
fabricating
inheriting yarns

invited to the waltz
stopped in my tracks by doubt
unused to these shoes
i don’t remember where
to put my hands
or how to dance
how do i recall
what seems completely new
guide me by texture
double-breasted wool suit
pressed
lightly into silk blouse
high heels
now knowingly glide
room rounds as
we
others
tables dishes napkins glasses bottles
chairs coats handbags
all
musicians singers performers
flow
one living thing
under the
tent
in the warm electric night
