Poem Category: Miscellaneous

after lightning–
beside the river
a cracked boulder

talking alone–
in a word
she has no future

a wing beat–
the hummingbird
catches my eye

hammock
lightens Sunday’s heat
I sway in

sunset
the last prayers
the Minaret calls

wind all day–
the web repairs
the spider is caught in

un-gloved—
for all to see
the pledge of her diamond

perfumed
all at once—
the office lift

the family car
we polish monthly–
the reach of the tots

spacing them
should fit the shelf
Father’s urn– his model boat
