through the bamboo groves —

summer song

summer breeze —

a chirping sparrow

answers rustling leaves

how to capture her beauty

leaving

the white pelicans behind

the river turns...

Rita Melissano

 the soundscapes                             

       of this breeze caressing                    

       the trees                                              

       no one knows why only

       silence can stop the wind

tilting its head

a crow

at sunset

ascending their hill

fire ants

another drivers license…

now extinct

light from a distant star…

ignoring your call

around the campfire

flickering of stars

moonlight

reflecting in your eyes

a lifetime

drifting blossom

churchmen want to know

where I have been

tumbling litter

a gang of street crows

shoots the breeze

dancing in the wet grass

chasing stars

until dawn
