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…”

the plant in the window

has gone everywhere

it can

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

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 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
yin yang

as a peace offering
I carry the ancient crab
and set it down
next to my daughter
without a word…

on the rocks
intact …
but lifeless

the script
of days and nights
listening to the creek
rise and fall

of the creek
holding on…
