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

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

pink dog-wood tree
rooted in the earth
graceful branches sway in the breeze
years of yearning
striving towards the sun
bottle green humming bird
beating wings floating on the air
beautiful blur
flying from flower to flower
angular actions
there for only a
moment
both of them
together
