Where We Meet

where we meet
tops of trees
sway in a breeze
birds fly
the blue sky
at our feet
be what may
like yesterday

Due North

home is set square
storm clouds blow due north
carrying all that is untethered
to unplanned locations
while we remain
drenched in the sweat of
heaven’s labor

Clematis on the Hill

There’s a lady, a pretty lady, she doesn’t care.
She doesn’t like people to stare
so she lives on a hill in the middle of nowhere.

Fire in Heaven

The Fire in Heaven cooks up a fine feast.
Flowers face the brilliance that reveals me and makes a mirror of Earth.

The first tulip and some early strawberries and me.

Ladies of Spring

The ducks and geese have come, flapping wings and ducking heads
while bees buzz in the blooms of the ladies of spring.

The first bloom of spring.

Winter Green

The garden grows beneath a layer of summer gone.

I combed dry leaves and branches

from parsley, asparagus, iris and lily leaves, green and crisp

and pulled on roots of grass and  peppermint, to restrain them.
