How can something so seemingly mundane reflect
innocent excitement and seem sinister at the same time?

A memory
biking on the black bridge
bits of blue between the clouds
soft breezes from the river
my son and I watch the barge below–
this moment beautifully burned into my memory
Artful
Art is beauty–
and there is beauty to be found in most everything.
Some things that bind
rope, twine, trust, childhood,
lies, dreams, ribbons, memories,
secrets, chains and love
Iris
Misty yellow iris caught in a morning shower–
everything pales compared to you.
Carousel
the spirited child chose the galloping black horse
the shy child chose the painted blue seats
the father chose the smallest horse for his daughter
the mother chose the stationary horse for her son
the grandparents took photos from the other side of the gate
the mirrors bounced distorted reflections in spirals
and the tinny music was ever so slightly off key
I wondered if I was having a flashback, an allergic reaction
or the most lucid moment imaginable.
Lost and Found
A feather reminds me that things get lost,
and then found anew.
Summer Pleasures
afternoon storms
ice cream outside
the sound of children playing
all things green
bird calls in the morning
sunrise at 5:15 am
sunset at 9:30 pm
the smell of cut grass
coffee on the balcony
boats sailing on the river
sleeping with the windows open
misty morning fog
Beauty
There is beauty to be found
on the edges of decay.
A little to the right
Sometimes what blocks one’s vision
is the tendency to stand still.
