spring weather –

on the blanket of childhood

the cat and her kittens

Listen to the silence

before the hush of chimes

answers the summer breeze

into the heart of the woods

night sky...

I tell my stories

to passing clouds

tea gargled

down in this whirring car

unceremonious

The Little Bighorn

a gentle slope of sagebrush

sand   gravestones    silence

more then than now still weighted

with passing toward forgotten

an old wagon

heavy with hay

remembering the rain

sunrise

bursts into the room

the brass buddha winks

sundown

in a barren field

the scarecrow nods

shadows

under the stairs

milk for a one-eyed cat

a grand piano

hanging from a window

our last goodbye

cracked teapot

filling cups with

fond memories

Stephanie Zepherelli



between us

a flickering candle . . .

shared secrets

Stephanie Zepherelli



quiet pond

dipping a toe

in shimmering moons

Stephanie Zepherelli



enjoying nothing

in particular

and everything
