Peach orchard
picking the ravages of the hail
that taste as sweet.

Crossing
on the new sheets
the barbed claws of her kitten.

Camp fire
brewing our coffees
of mountain snow.

Winter picnic
our shadows and our edges
lost in the grass.

After lunch
an octopus tugging, tugging
at the angler’s sleep.

In the winter garden
curled in her lap
the piebald cat.

The horses graze
under a blowing tree
our picnic spread.

Wall of fog
ahead of us
tail lights disappearing.

Library books due
back to my childhood
a walk through the snow.

The dam’s lake
sunset burning
canoe after canoe.
