winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Shoreline
a weathered rowboat-
mooring line gently slapping
up against the dock
–
children jumping
from the pier-
lakeside
Test
this is a test post
one one which I will delete soon
please disregard it
–
swallowtails-
lines traced in
the august sky
Humanity
the fifth of July
a time for reflection on
what we have become
–
saguaro cactus-
a small sneaker
in the sand
Independence
canons and mortars-
our patriotic fervor
lights up the night sky
–
fireworks
the dog hides
under my bed
Hunt
above the highway
a red tailed hawk circling
riding the thermals
–
hunting-
an osprey plummets
to the sea
Sleep
a thief in the night-
sleep steals into the room and
takes me unawares
–
cunning-
the sly sofa
steals my will
Ash
a viking long boat
trailing ash and smoke floating
towards valhalla
–
central park-
cigar ashes on
the chess board
Carving
shavings of maple
remnants of a craftsman’s work
spread across the floor
–
a willow tree
the old man carves
in the shade
