crawling slow
across trail path…
beautiful weed

prairie pups
wondering perhaps…
“what cool shades”

across west
puffs of cumulus…
craving gelato

another thursday
sense of being neither…
here or there

months later
last of orchids…
let’s go

hover
around empty bowls…
hungry cats

someone is
out of place…
me or this ant

kitchen counter
lathering it clean…
wife returns today

gray day
aging pup’s eyes say…
rest easy

evening cool
even dragonflies…
keep dancing

brushing of
periwinkle streak…
flax across plains

held together
only by time…
dandelion seeds

darker tone
bunnies romp around…
wet grass

old cat
his gentle purrs…
same as yesterday’s

dark rings
bottom of tagine…
onion prints

sudden realize
everywhere is beauty…
in ordinary things

lonely walk
among praire dog burrows…
pups are here!

mossies beware!
deadheading one by one…
citronella

dying slow
on warm concrete…
earthworms

day break
way before it…
swallows chirp

outside window
late evening chatter…
nesting swallows

bound somewhere
across the moon…
jet stream

hours later
wilting remains…
morning glories

mornin’ opens
to new finch songs…
stories to share

bobbing white
ode to miso soup…
enoki heads

ribbits
with our every step…
more silence

here not there
across the world…
back now home

headlamps hover
in the forest…
midnite pee

after hike
houseflies insist…
toes smell so good

wafting in
basecamp room…
fresh cologne

almost there
guides insist, yet…
almost not there

dog threesome
insist on company…
buddha nature

shades of
rhododendron…
white has its charm

bee insists
something to tell…
on this postcard

brilliant yellow
across the valley…
size no matter

by lake
goes silent…
cow bells

by lake
goes silent…
cow bells

morn’ opens
multitude of birds…
to each it’s own song

griffin soars
above the snow…
our spirits as well

cow bell rings
in whisper of the wind…
no contradiction

slow move
across road so narrow…
cow take a leak

bright spot
in this heat and dust…
jacaranda blooms

oleander blooms
silent in pink…
off dusty road

eating sweetness
still persisting…
new mango blooms

in my head
cloud of confusion…
jet lag

cicadas chirp loud
over our heads…
feeling so small

three lil lines
new memories…
of distant things

diggin’ in

under spell…
of full moon

surrounded by…
cat snores

morning chill
no reason to stop…
the songbirds

weather shift
afternoon brings…
smell of cowshit

orchids wilt
next pot of shamrocks…
fresh blooms

cardboard box
jumping in and out…
hello kitties!

on our walk
among finch songs…
headless bird

snow dust on
distant conifers…
toads croak nearby

saying thanks!
sorting through…
salad greens

cool breeze
in spite of it…
an argument

wafting fresh
across busy crossroad…
mowed grass

evening hike
edges of the peak…
streaks of gold

cold concrete
walking the dog…
barefoot

ducks waddle
along shoreline…
anglers mid-water!
