Limbs heavy with yellow
petals bumbling with bees,
empty shade beneath.

YOU AND I

With all time, the wild waits
and watches for weakness
to erase our track—

 

each and every pending joy
prolonged in one place
beneath the sky

 

swallowed up, overgrown,
like it was before
it trained us, you and I.

WILD WATCHING

Not many left who care
to see the dance, a flash
of flesh beneath her leaves,

she teases him when he’s not
watching hawks and deer—
well before you ever get there.

Nothing static, just
forces of speed and time
to pick up the pieces.

With basic implements,
wear a morning burst of pink
for Mother’s Day.

Bud and bloom, flower
for a day, then sigh—
a man needs many cacti.

Cactus night bloom braves
the sun, but only one day—
for mothers in May.

NIGHT RAIN

Above the mountains, one
last brew rises to hold the day,
make night rain.

PHOTOGRAPH

IMG_1914

 

A pair in the shade
take a break—quail
on the rail of the gate—

we stop to inhale
with each prolonged
tick of time, knowing

it won’t last long enough
to photograph—to leave
for the house and good lens

to freeze gray detail
to store somewhere.
Instead, we stare

at a mirror
in our garden
we won’t forget.
