Raptor’s graceful soar

Swallows’ eccentric flurries

Delight in the sky

 

My bronze weathered soul

Varnished with decades of sun

Still a child inside

 

Procession of spring

Momma quail with trailing chicks

Bits of eager fluff

 

A rustic woman

Apple trees and her twelve dogs

    In the mountain’s lap

 

Spring-fed oasis

Rhubarb and glowing poppies

Miraculous glen

 

The cyclopic moon

Already a thief of light

Peers in my bedroom
