cirrus cloud

a wisp of sheep’s fleece

on the wire fence

pink oleander

the scent of sunset

sings me into the sound

the ocean reveals

its colors 

dusk waves

Heat wave—

   thanking the oaks

   that line the street

Recess—

a wormhole

a bee disappears

in a purple wine cup

I follow his cue

Scott Wiggerman

deep purple dirge of elections

Scott Wiggerman

weight limits

the baggage we learn

to live without

Scott Wiggerman

disbelief

in resurrection

the many times

dead trees

come back to life

Scott Wiggerman

scavenging

old wood

for tree forts

before I knew

people live in less
