winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
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
Horizon
alone and asea-
drifting on the line between
the ocean and sky
–
eventide-
the sun ignites
a fiery sea
