horses, Ithaca, observing, paddock, pasture, photography, poetry, seeing, summer, tanka, watching

in my daughter’s room
which used to be my room
her shelf
full of model horses
all looking at me

as they say…
here’s looking
at you

knotty pine cabinet

above the toilet

two knots look back

boarded up…
knots looking out

the lumber yard

with the grain

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
