end of the trail
the world
without humans

carrying a blur
of blue sky , the stream
enters a chute

daylight savings-
I leave my calendar
a month behind

for every season
the time
is now….

the envelope to me

sealed carefully with tape

on every seam

when opened, reveals

absolutely nothing

looking
into it
just to see…

seeing her by chance

I once had a dream about her

years ago–

over time it has taken on

a substance of its own

with some remove
and the right angle
reflections to savor

where I sit
on my usual bench
remains of a nut

squirrel
working on a nut
decides to bury it

April Fools Day-
another year
too true to myself

sure as spring
the snowdrops
push through leaves

another day
avoiding it
the sun

terraces
follow the contours
around the mountain

as if one

were not enough

I daydream pleasantly

of several women

I know

landed
right beside
myself

she’s not here

to see it

but after breaking the stick

I perfectly fit the broken ends

back together again

the geese go where

they must go

no mind-

the spring rain drops

bouncing off me

a small puddle
holding
a large tree top

my wife needs a room

of her own,

a place to close the door,

a place I never saw

in the sunnier days before

long time split
now held together
with straps
