nature—
my favorite artist

sometimes, concentrating on beautiful details can lend focus to the bigger picture

on the balcony, after the storm

a blue moon
blue-violet hydrangeas
the blue hour of day
indigo buntings and bright jays
the word “cerulean”
dewy summer blueberries
tiny robin eggs
glimmering saphires and aquamarines
delicate bluebells and forget-me-nots
antique blue and white china
translucent butterfly wings
worn denim
cobolt glass bottles
silver bracelets with turquois stones
blue velvet
a cloudless sky in july

the thunder rolled over the hills as the rain pelted us with fat water bullets, bending and suspending themselves like wet, safety nets

pixies hide under ferns

i would like to be–
a random Tuesday in April
the thorns on growing vines
a defiant and beautiful weed
the moment before a whisper
a poem on the dog-eared page
the cold river current

does a plant feel pain?

tourmaline
succulent
amalgam
quince
black cherries
smoky quartz
funicular
banana bread
magenta
