spring 2011

cloud watch —
the inner weight
of grey




almost summer
the smell of fresh cut grass
...and citronella



shadows passing time in the cemetery



spring rain —
a neighbor and I
worm gazing



a petal falls
from the last tulip —
church bells



spring runoff the road between potholes


***********

election promises —
I turn my tray of seedlings
toward the sun

rain sun rain...
the final countdown
to election day

election day
another earthworm
wriggles in the mud

***********


first violets —
somewhere a river
keeps rising
