how easily
the cloud shadows pass
over the hills

 

 

country roads
Stevenson Rd. -- long look
country road ...
a dog barking... the road goes on and on
vines crowning a tall stump 9-2-16.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15..
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15...
near the graves...the grain of wood comes to light...
the beauty of undoing a stand in time...

a child I don’t know
waving at me

all the time
ending and beginning
the universe

 

 

sky blue seen through shade
thin crescent...
Cayuga in sunset afterglow
after the sunset
after the sunset on the water
bottle In the garage on the window sill watching the days come and go ...
the silence of the ages before us...
Queen Anne's Lace clenched
first day of school
oak trees have been dropping a bumper crop of always neat looking acorns...
oak trees have been dropping a bumper crop of always neat looking acorns..
oak trees have been dropping a bumper crop of always neat looking acorns

so many things
to have opinions on
yet as I drive along
I don’t arrive
at any of them
