old hare's coat
tinged white just a sliver —
the new moon

hill's crest…

Sacred Peak — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 13:55:13 GMT

hill's crest
the dawn floods up —
floats a gull

the garden
leans over, heavy —
drip... drip...

a crow's
shadow drips through —
wet larch

a drop
rolls the sky across —
a leaf

puddles have
soaked up the bird song
— — —

puddles
full of clouds —
now

a magpie
walks across itself —
a puddle

puddles
in each one, the sky
backed-up

a drop
reflects an ant's eye...
eye... eye... ...

on a petal
the bumblebee meets —
its shadow

a shimmer
here and there they fly about —
nameless bugs

it heats up
the sound of the fireplace —
tick... ... tick... ...

the crows
leave behind an echo...
gone

the sky
reflects and falls off the edge —
drip by drip

the cat
flicks the ball rolls
beside its shadow

patio door
a shadow passes across —
cat naps

abundance
summer fruit —
flies

pale blue
the sky full of nothing —
then "caw... caw..."

a cloud
flows through the trees —
birdsong

silent
it drifts by wide open —
gull

weathered,
the old fountain drips —
sparrow gossip

wisps of cloud
melt into the sky —
butter on toast

one side
green, one side gold —
fir at sunrise

gentle breeze
the shadows shorten —
my tea

the patio
still warm this morning —
proof of summer

out back
he reads and the
barbeque smokes

overnight
the gusting wind blew
itself away

absorbed
in the greenery —
lone statue

muttering
to herself, the cat:
bird watching

sat on the lamp
it waits for its friend
at the fountain

this flower
on repeat —
bee's eye

empty
the tea cup sits here —
and me

outstretched,
pointing at the day moon —
kiwi vines

in the pauses
of our conversation —
chirp, croak

quiet,
dry, too dry for a frog —
or a pond

the time
to put pen to paper —
pulling weeds

squeaky clean
hands wide open —
the beggar

sunrise
through the window —
lights blink off

dandelion
stubborn and stuck in...
on repeat

up and down
the rhythm of middle age —
prostate

leaning east
the old pine takes its cue
from the wind

the poem
of crows croaking echoes —
untranslated

double helix
the fountain trickles two tales —
at once

it folds
its paper head right back —
chirp! a sparrow

today
the same day but different —
the tall grass

the sun
dishes out more —
alliums

before
the traffic... and the birds —
water sounds

on top
of each tree, a magpie —
and smoke

a starling
writes verse across the sky —
lights up

the sound
of a magpie flutters —
from tree to tree

the vines
flow across the fence —
a squirrel

the glass doors
the sun pierces right through...
and sparrow song

in the fountain
they share a drink or two —
little birds say

invisible
and teetering in the wind —
sparrow song

out front
i admire the eryngium —
means admire

hot! barely
time to breathe between
popsicles

i sit down,
a sparrow — i stand up,
a sparrow

a desk
full of books and words...
this blank page

windows closed
the smell of barbeque
seeps in

before she jumps
sizing up the gulf between
chair and ledge

i fill
in the last spot —
haiku

he sweeps
up yesterday's dust —
again

early,
the air laden with
skunk

a magpie
drinks — the sound of water
flows

all summer
its slow death throes —
orchid spike

a tap
on the shoulder —
stray vine

top
heavy
the hollyhocks bend all the way down

the quiet
before the birds wake up...
chirp

a series
of city sounds —
croak chirp

only
its sound — scritch scratch
scritch scratch

the old fir
sags under the weight
of birdsong

a peach
rises over the horizon —
the sun

on the top
of a branch, a magpie
proclaims

the wind
whispers through the big fir's
stories

a crow
not thinking about the world —
looks over

the vines
climb each other —
toward the sun

[thursday out back]

all the
music in the world in one
feather

Dave
reading his kindle
in "magpie"

all the weight
of the world in one
step

hanging off
a branch, it sings A-B-C
in magpie

on a branch
arguing non-stop —
sparrows

magpie
scratches — in the dust picks up
the breeze

declined...
another spoofed call —
sparrow chatter

beads of sweat
the heat in the shadows —
unnamed

little clouds
fold into the sky —
sunbeam mixer

reaching over
the fence to shake hands —
kiwi vines

from tree
to tree, the magpie climbs —
sunrise

a gull
flies off into the sun —
i squint

cottonwoods
stretch out — across the park
shadows meet

by the stream
an asphalt ribbon winds
people around

the water
turns around the fountain —
little birds
