Fog surrounds
the canal
Windmill blades turn

Fog surrounds
the ocean
Turbine blades whirl

Breezed over
Spooled thread
on the countertop

The slow summer
buzz of a biplane
Wing walkers

Sunset on
the city beach
A sandal in the sand

Sunset on
the city beach
A scandal in the sand

Sunset
A sandal
in the sand

Sunset
A scandal
in the sand

grass recovers
the train tracks

Deer pause
Tall still
grass

Deer pause
Breeze through the
tall grass

Those ribs
A wasting
cow waits

A snail hardens
in morning light
Birdsong

After the car wash
Pinch pruning
the spring hydrangeas

Seventy-nine degrees
on Hallowe’en
Browned leaves fall
