could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace

milkweed
on one plant
from bud to bloom…

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes,
those times at night
in the back seat,
my parents taking us someplace....

the mystery
of where we all go
at the end of the day…

hunting four leaf clovers
students discuss
their childhoods

hosta-
I linger in the moment
before moving on…

Class in the forest
they all look up
to the trees

cross work
of bark near the base
of the trunk

blowing across
the plowed field
a sheet of newspaper
with who knows what
kind of news

the day
it was struck
going on and on…

in the theater
of my dreams
a working out
this double life
of the unresolved …

so much
passes by
before we know it…

high clouds…
one horse leans in
against another-
before our children
my wife and I were like that

mid afternoon
out to pasture
grazing in the grass…

the sun
between showers
the blossoms

a fuzzy
batch of blossoms-
plans change

for the night
an abandoned barn-
so many stories

the old barn
leaning further
this year…

one night in the barn
I search the rafters
– the quality of the workmanship
