dragon’s breath-
the sun you can see
through the haze

dried and gone to seed a thistle becomes asymmetrical

a thistle becomes
asymmetrical

While planting bulbs
my wife unearths
a childhood cap gun of mine
I hold it
trying to grasp back then

 

galls... the very gall of them!

galls…
the very gall
of them!

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

milkweed on one plant from bud to bloom...

milkweed
on one plant
from bud to bloom…

well worn
the lowest branch

follow the red brick road back home
