BATTLE OF NATURES

Admitting defeat
with no where to go but up
can be contagious.

 

DOORS

Beyond each closed gate
another world wild within
the wire we have stretched.

HYBISCUS

One load of pollen
on one busy bumblebee
for Flower Friday.

 

REMNANTS OF BLANCA

Like furious gods,
magnificent thunderheads
rising above us.

 

ARTICHOKE BLOOM

Tis not the season
to partake of artichokes
lest a bumblebee.

 

 

WPC(3) — “Off-Season”

 

WOOD SPLITTER

One hundred and ten
in the shade, no need to feed
oak to the wood stove.

RAIN GAUGE

Not much to measure
but cobwebs and leaves in June—
ready nonetheless.

Selected to stay,
to be bred and have babies,
we must give them names.

 

Pogue Canyon

Upon reflection,
sky becomes a cooler blue
and the hills less steep.

 

 

VIVID

In the summertime
heat and delirium rule
at the water’s edge.
