Birds
Birds flew close today Quick wings the flash Of yellow and red A good day to soar Glide the world Through finchesrsquo eyes
Crows
Crows clatter and Cackle across roof tops Shiny and black
Juneuary
Gray Juneuary afternoon Islands and bay indistinguishable In what should be a summerrsquos day
Tomatoes cringe in their cages Bean seedlings turn tail Scurry underground
Ferry Mysteries
A rumbly engined truck trundles up the ramp of the boxy ferry its broad flat bottom unfazed by diesel belches as low gear is tested
The physics of this task many toned truck green and white ferry evades my understanding until a successful departure overcomes all doubts
For Robert
He sits at the table In the cool gray evening Outside the Red Light window Speaks carefully chosen words Rhythmic hands smooth gestures Before the words are put down Inside the window jazz plays
Nervous Clouds
Anxious clouds hurry across Late afternoon blue skies Like Alicersquos white rabbit Worried they are too late To participate In sweet sunset
Reminiscence
Along the early morning empty beach Memoryrsquos museum rises from the mist My motherrsquos slim silhouette a one piece Swim suit overseen by an arc of straw hat My tan boyrsquos body bounds in to the waves Of surf pounded Horseneck Beach Always part of the summer vacation At Aunt Charlottersquos among Fairhavenrsquos Fireplace red brick walks carefully laid By diligent immigrant hands as Elegant elm trees bless the day Pose for my brownie camera
Rhododendrons
Old rhododendrons Pink paper clusters Should be aromatic
In all their finery Beloved of bumble bees In impossible flight
The cloaked bud hides The naked flower Held hostage to
Cool summer rains This deep gray day When my heart sings
Windy green leaves Turn to dance among Summer high branches
Spider Webs
Strung between apple trees The web catches my face in A nightrsquos work across the walk From the front door to the street A labyrinth of hostas catmint oregano day lilies Bee choristers Welcome blue summer morning Harbingers of Autumn soon to come Ever bigger garden spiders will Prepare the eggs for newborns to Catch the wind for next yearrsquos webs
