enriched rust
in the late day sun
the stillness

how many times
the light has come
and gone…

“I can see
for miles and miles
and miles…”

a full day
of talk…
the silence

this inner place

the plant in the window

has gone everywhere

it can

without a plan
I start off on a walk
just to see…

one generation
pushes another
in a swing

evening light
stretches across
the fresh cut lawn

once again
the narrative
on the news
made no mention
of serenity…

I’ve lost count
of the number of sunsets
I’ve watched…

nature, photography, poetry, summer, tanka, walking

as I walk by
the neighbor’s old place
a chipmunk poses
on the foundation
of their garage…

we both hold still
staring at each other
absorbed by it all…

the homeless man
asks us
to take him home…

arriving to see
the sunset… the moment
it slipped below the horizon

ambivalence

I believe is what

I’ve come to sitting here

watching wave after wave

land itself

sunset
washing back and forth
on the beach

the farther away it gets

the more magical it becomes,

those times at night

in the back seat,

my parents taking us someplace....

under the pine
another creation
