2741

chopping winter wood
a butterfly
stops my axe

2740

warmed by stars
the owl’s a mind
of mice holes

2739

this sky-pressed sea
is a safe place for my bones
with waves to move in

2738

picnic with Laurel
our hands stop reaching
for the same small cake

2736

summer-sweet salads
out of father’s garden
our sliced tomatoes

2735

sometime between the quakes
the cheval mirror
cracked to mirrors

2734

the peach trees sweeten
in the far dripping fog
the shapes of silence

2733

grandma’s garden
our shadows moving
to touch and talk

2732

too young to fruit
the apple trees hanging out
with old Jack Frost

2731

window corner
the spider’s young
rainbows with dew
