brothers

pestering each other

in the back seat

now fallen angels

both asleep

crocus blossoms

cupping the snow

in her small hands

green heron

as still

as the pond

mountain trail

at every turn

the moon’s tug

river glass . . .

the cool smoothness

of his lies

Look! And you, look too!

In the waterfall, the hawk

sees its reflection.

along the back steps looking

almost intentional

gradually the light

leaves us… our eyes adjust

so we don’t notice

waving

away the gnats

half dandelion

Why did the kudzu

rust and dent models

inside and out

sudden gust—

chimes tell secrets

I walk

on a moss laden path

deciding—

just for today

I need nothing more
