late night
alone in the stillness
the Christmas lights
go off and on,
off and on…
sleds arranged
from a long winter
of good times

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace
silent sentinel
facing the end
of another day

wind outside the mall
and as I wait
with my eyes closed
a killdeer calls
from another life
pausing…
in the puddle
the pig barn

the development
deer path
behind fences
at the closed Seneca Army Depot
some of the deer are white

quiet part…
out loud a little one asks
“when will it end?”
the time
it takes to carve
a gorge…

Mother’s Day-
a mix of sun
wind and rain
wind and rain
daintily
strung along the stems
bleeding hearts

kids
in a tree
I once climbed
irresistible
the pull of a puddle
for a child

lamb’s ear
softening
the quarry
behind the fence
slipping out
of an old skin
