Battered Bridge
a bridge across the world,
across mountains,
across words
and thoughts–
a bridge across the planets,
across misunderstandings,
across watercolor waves
and childhood expectations
Ohio
how i wanted to put miles between us all those years ago–

Inspiration Lately
a white egret at the marsh
Dusty Springfield
cool, foggy mornings
turkey vultures in the field
fairies blowing bubbles at the fair
the sun dancing on green leaves
glass marbles in a dish
pink dahlias
french vanilla coffee
and chocolate croissants
All of it
all that we can see
and all that we can’t
all that we can say
and all that we won’t
all that we can do
and all that we don’t
Pansies in a Shot Glass
sometimes, i want to pare it down to nothing
Yes and No

Random Thoughts
i think about the complexity of life
after a difficult conversation
and the simplicity of life after watching a goldfinch;
but then, i spot two mourning doves mating in the grass,
and watch them become startled by a dog
barking at a darting dragon fly–
simplicity melts into cause and effect, the chain reaction tripping a switch in my head that makes me look up at the day opening before me and quietly walk away

car keys
a small plant
reading glasses
