humidity
trailing from clouds above
to dark yews

enough time away
to find that sense of humor
winking in the sand

sad pergola
after the rain
battered lavender

lazy evening
single fly circles
neighbors' trash can

summer storm -
the sweet smell between
my rabbit's ears.

in the birdbath

a dash of lime -

greenfinch

lemon leaf fall

more on the windowsill

than the plant

light breeze
towels on the line
summer rain

swifts
shriek overhead -
thistledown

5 am

across the deer park
patches of mist –
the ghosts of dawn

pink stench

of Himalyan Balsam -

migraine

rumpled roots
cradle a drift of petals

the wind shifts
geese carve the sky --

weekend drive
blue sky laced with clouds
brings me to tears

the combine
thunders through the barley
a toy lion watches

another sunday
of one hundred degree heat
far away...
thunder

otro domingo

con calor de cien grados

...truenos lejanos

dusk
around a Lammas fire
bats

end of summer
more cucumbers
than neighbors

buddleia -
a cloak of royal purple
turns brown

on the lawn
around three candles they talked
late into the night

Clear

clear summer day
I make plans
without you--
do you miss them, these days
we never spent together?

wilting herbs
the glint of a knife leaves
a little mizzle

mizzle: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mizzle

cherry and willow
compete for height -
convolvulus cares not
