tulips and amaryllis
strawberries with brown sugar
handpainted china
a straw in the woods
jelly beans in a bowl
our hearts beating together
Red things on my mind
Here and Gone
she was here, and then she was gone
30 years on
you were then, the age i am now–
i think about this in the dark and
scoop your image from my memory–
your young children will be grown,
your hair, fully silver–
of course when i meet you in my dream later that night,
we are as we were–
and i am desired once again
loving these words
tea shed
ginger biscuits
mended linen
watermelon party
warm brook
snowdrops
peeking crocuses
oak apples
Found
there, by the rolling stones,
by the line in the sand,
and the needles in the hay–
that’s where i found you
Ghosts
as the sun goes down,
ghosts gather
Beauty
the sunflowers stood tall in a mason jar on the table,
eventually stooping and growing tired,
making their withered way to a small porcelain dish,
we admired their frail and fragile beauty
