Traffic

highway median-
long neglected grasses sway
with the passing cars

towering light pole-
a red tailed hawk
spots it’s prey

Haze

leaves soft underfoot-
in the dawning mist great oaks
fade into the sky

blackbird-
morning fog
through the trees

Shore

whitewashed beach shanties-
a path of crushed coral ends
at the ebbing tide

salt air-
a gull’s cry
above the surf

Stone

forgotten pastures-
the gradual decline of
an old farmer’s wall

fieldstone-
grey lichens
untrodden

Contract

under a blood moon-
take my name from off your lips
and release my soul

wet ink-
my name
bound to you

Wonder

the morning commute-
unexpected lavender blossoms
along the roadside

traffic-
a glimpse of
an osprey

Colors

flowering milkweed-
monarchs unfurl their new wings
to catch the sunlight

iridescence-
concentric rainbows
on the pavement

London

the lamplighter’s mac-
a thin scrim of london fog
coats the cobblestones

horseshoes-
echoes off
stone walls

farm stand

by a country lane-
a hand lettered wooden sign
farm fresh eggs for sale

fresh eggs-
a card table
in the shade

Web

early morning dew-
a spider’s silken shift work
floats above the grass

last night’s rain-
pearls rest on
tatted lace
