Startled
by soft sighs from a night sky -
snowbirds
Just beyond the glass
that which we seek lies hidden -
there amongst the trees.

The Hen Party
Laughter
draws my gaze
heavenward.
draws my gaze
heavenward.
A gaggle of girls
identical
purple dresses
sunshine blonde.
Posing for photographs on a rooftop.
(How did they even get up there?)
Drinking pink wine at eleven a.m.
One
drunken
stumble
away
from a day they will never forget.

Morning Walk
Unrisen moon,
eerie pearlescent sky -
stars, but barely.
Before the haar clears -
a magnolia blossom
the sole morning star.
Shafts of light through boughs,
shining out from fallen stars -
wood anemones.

Une hirondelle a fait le printemps...
Red, white, and blue of
patriotic homecoming -
the first barn swallow.
On an azure ground,
the flicks of an artist's brush -
swallows on the wing.
Staring at the sky,
spots swimming before my eyes -
childhood memories.
