suncatchers
the porch screen studded
with raindrops
the mountain
makes its presence felt . . .

Daily Verse Feature
my eyes close
as I rinse the rice
a third time . . .
this ancient ritual
connecting me to you
letters hidden
under a mountain cairn
all these years . . .
the goddess of wind
still keeping our secret
The Take 5ive Journal, June 2023
Theme: Music that Heals
fitful winds
pluck the harp strings
of dead vines . . .
you would have been
soothed by such music
my singing bowl
half-filled with water . . .
I strike its rim
until ocean waves
manifest inside me
Red Lights, Vol. 19, Number 2, June 2023
stars rise
above the alpenglow
will we ever
know our place in this
expanding universe
waiting, waiting
a wapiti
summons his harem
through the night
I call your name,
but you do not come
where
have you been
all this time
I am still here
waiting, waiting
two chickadees
chatter in my garden
you are
the same age now
as you were then

softer than a feather

thawing lake

a trout
