how lovely
to do nothing at all
as these wind gusts
billow her blouse
open
chain link fence
ripples in reflection
on a puddle

this timeless journey
in the here and now

I rake and gather

with thoughts of people
I’ve known before

disintegration, guard rails, photography, poetry, roads, tanka, time, wabi sabi, wear
so many things
to have opinions on
yet as I drive along
I don’t arrive
at any of them
staggered
along the road
guard rails

beyond this life
that one old friend
I bump into over and over
promising that we’ll get together
again, someday
that line
between reality
and dream

Mother’s Day-
a mix of sun
wind and rain
wind and rain
daintily
strung along the stems
bleeding hearts

in a tree
I once climbed
irresistible
the pull of a puddle

a fruit fly
interested in me
before
the last day at work
my desk…
