daybreak-
the rubber duck alone
in the empty tub

mother
with her young ones
all lined up…

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…

“the way
time waits for no one…”
another beautiful barn

the tentative start-up
of talk…
to a new friend?

in the lotus pond

milkweed
on one plant
from bud to bloom…

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes,
those times at night
in the back seat,
my parents taking us someplace....

of where we all go
at the end of the day…

hunting four leaf clovers
students discuss
their childhoods

Class in the forest
they all look up
to the trees

cross work
of bark near the base
of the trunk

the plowed field
a sheet of newspaper

it was struck
going on and on…
