Movement
in the valley below
Sheep

With flying colors
Balloons ascend
over the desert

Spring flowers
The mother’s persistent
dry cough

Lighting
her cigarette
Cherry blossom

Stiff rope looped
over the post
A rowboat

Our conversation
The lighthouse
and the rolling sea

Gated hogs
on the farm
Tom Waits, softly

Fresh
coffee beans
Homesick

Birds circle
and land
The muskox

An old door
propped against a tree
In the woods
