Wild Hyacinth (Dichelostemma capitatum)

No perfect flower,
yet we hunger for beauty
greater than nature.

 

EARLY SPRING

Goldfields - February 16, 2015

Goldfields – February 16, 2015

 

Warm hillsides melting
the Ides of February
in puddles of gold.

Our square creations
become places for the wild
to relax and roost.

A crop of fat calves
just weaned from relieved mothers
like peas in a pod.

AFTER RAIN

Sun sets on the sighs
that cling to wet hills grinning
color into clouds.

 

 

WPC(3) — “Scale”

 

LONE PINE, CA

This close to heaven,
just below the timberline
pine trees climb and wait.

Purple Penstemon – May 5, 2011

 

After a week of celebrating,
song and poetry
sound the same.

 

 

IN BLOOM

Bird's Eye Gilla - April 11, 2011

Bird’s Eye Gilla – April 11, 2011

 

Sometimes mindless creatures
of habit in bloom,
never sure who’s got whom.

 

 

BLOW WIVES

Blow Wives - April 6, 2013

Blow Wives – April 6, 2013

 

Spreading seed on wider wings,
Dandelion
by any other name.

 

 

IN THE CROWD

Johnny Tuck - March 31, 2013

Johnny Tuck – March 31, 2013

 

I can show up anywhere
yet never certain who
I want to be.
