dam, flow, Ithaca, nature, photography, poetry, questions, reservoir, Six Mile Creek, spring, tanka, water

when its over
and the life we knew
is no more
what, if anything
will be worthy of a stone?

at the corner
the brickwork
of the dam

biking slowly

through a shower

of cherry petals…

late afternoon
I ride along a quiet road
with my shadow…

before the new puppy

my wife got ten chickens,

before them two parakeets, two cats,

our two children and long ago

just me…

an open book
this day and everyday
ready to explore

flowers, life, photography, poetry, spring, walking

in the prayer bowl
the silence
of dust

finding freely
one flower after another
on my walk…

we’ve talked–

still you want our talk

as much as I want

the silences between

spool afloat
above and below
the waterline

every few bounces
the robin pauses on the lawn
to look and listen,
as if that were all
there was to do

ready robin
bounces across
the lawn
