the roar of hard coal
pouring down a metal chute
the silence after
winter, my wife and
mother dead yet the crazy
leaning barn still stands
pips to their gladys,
sundogs simmer late afternoon
both sides cold sun
alarm clock ringing!
daylight savings time begins
cursing in the dark
the great blue heron
sails over my niece's house
close as a prayer
the cat plays with her
feather then leaves. a breeze flips
the feather on its side
how lonely it is
sudden yellow of forsythia
on her birthday
april morning quite
muggy people wearing coats
wishing they were not
tails up jumping
for joy heifers out on
new spring grass
dreading summer heat
hot may day, sharp shadow of
trailer on my lawn
dew lights new maple
leafs, dogwood blossoms.
crossing guard near school yawning
