Puppy Love
While missing my old girl with an ache stretching me bare,
I learn to let love grow anew.
Stand Tall
City buildings, I take a cue from you and stand tall.
What captures my attention
rusty farm equipment
old fire trucks
worn brushes
tiny bird skulls
1960’s ambulances
vigilant hawks
hand lettering
rocks on the ground
pine cones in a tree
a funeral procession
rain on the river
Disappointment…
tastes bitter, but I am reminded to be thankful
and mindful of this short, fortunate life.
Infinity
I don’t see the weekend tourists,
the sticky fingered children,
the sun soaked fishermen casting off the docks.
Instead, I think about Magellan and wonder
what inspired him to keep navigating
in that giant, infinite circle.
Fall Pleasures
steamy oatmeal with brown sugar
the sound of crunching leaves
Irish sweaters
purple mums
warm blankets on the bed
coffee with pumpkin scones
amber leaves
old flannel
crisp morning breezes
frost on the grass
Fence
Are you keeping me in, or keeping me out?
Hopeful
Baked cauldrons wait to be filled.
The echo of their emptiness
rings with hopeful meloncholy.
River Sounds
Sometimes I lay in the loft and hear the water hit the docks.
The boats sway and their bumpers whine.
Ducks call out with protesting quacks and geese
continue their conversation in mid-flight.
I’ll miss you when we leave, dear river;
but will keep your sounds buried deep in my peaceful heart.
