beyond this life
that one old friend
I bump into over and over
promising we’ll get together
again, someday

12 spotted skimmer
is what a friend tells me
it is…

behind the wheel-
yet another of his
personalities

a tree
growing up inside
an old tractor tire

in the garden
right by St. Francis

also attracted
to the red flowers

most of the rain
not falling
on me

after the downpour
sweet pea
refreshed

revealed so long
this grain of wood
on our floor-
the distance yet
we have to go

snails
on the move
over pavers

the needle
holding true
season after season
exactly as it was between us
long ago…

so many things
left to the sweep
of time

the last pressure
setting frozen
for all time…

heart to heart
we reach that place
that exists in the past
from which we are no longer
just here…

the photo
that moment
just that moment…

rundown docks-
minnows schooling
around the trawler

the sun too
in the shallows
with the minnows

it is love we all want
and all these ways
we go about looking for it-
how strange in my secluded spot
a stranger finds me

day lilies
some have crossed
the road
