detail, light, nature, photography, poetry, spring, trees

the envelope to me
sealed carefully with tape
on every seam
when opened, reveals
absolutely nothing
looking  into it  just to see...

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

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

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

a large tree top
