insects that look like green leaves
dreams that hang about like languid strings
soap that smell like sweet roses
laughter that soars like paper airplanes


insects that look like green leaves
dreams that hang about like languid strings
soap that smell like sweet roses
laughter that soars like paper airplanes


strawberries every day
outside dinners and glasses of wine
summer rain, again and again
long evening walks, admiring lush gardens
the sweetest little ice cream truck

buttercups in the grass
dreams in a thunderstorm
shells in a bowl
gratitude in a breath


floating yellow balloons
silver buckets of china dolls
tiny lemon cakes
hives in abandoned cars
bucks in the woods

travel through time
fly at midnight
dust the pollen from fragile wings

tulips and amaryllis
strawberries with brown sugar
handpainted china
a straw in the woods
jelly beans in a bowl
our hearts beating together

tea shed
ginger biscuits
mended linen
watermelon party
warm brook
snowdrops
peeking crocuses
oak apples


planting new things
flea markets and farmer’s markets
birthday cake
open windows at night
shades of green
long spring evenings

afternoon winter skies
atlas jars
small aquamarine on a silver chain
a plastic bottlecap in the woods
and the memory of your tender blue eyes

tea with friends
thoughts of miro
sunny afternoons
colored pencils tied with twine
book sale at the library
shards of distant memories
kisses from the pup
