mid day heat
the air heavy
with words
mid day heat
the air heavy
with words
day’s end
on the lake ducks paddle
in sunset
fly in the web
I back away
from him
fading heat
along the riverbank
willows weep
hiding above
the budding branches
spring starlight
rush hour
the stillness before
and after
lingering chill
I wrap your scent
around my neck
spring
I silence my alarm
to hear the songs
after the rain
sunlight spills
into puddles
stepping stones
I follow
my inner child
