Leap

Annulled at midnight
This day destined to return
In four years from now

Pullman

Rolling through the night
The rhythm of the train tracks
Rocking us to sleep

Age

A young man’s eyes see
The lined face and greying hair 
Looking back at me

Regrets

Memories of you
Follow closely, taunting me
With what might have been

Brevity

Late October rain
Bees covet the wildflowers
While the desert blooms

Noise

Lying on the floor
The world passes me by as
I try to let it

Erosion

Tumbled river stones
Transforming into sand by
Water’s persistence

Garden

Dark flowers bloom as
Small drops of rain release the
Incense of the earth

Curves

The arc of her back
Revealed in alabaster
Carved by the moonlight

Treasure

Winter shore winds blow
Swirling my daughter’s hair as
We search for sea glass
