after the rain
sunlight spills
into puddles
after the rain
sunlight spills
into puddles
counting cracks
in the flagstones
warm sun
lingering mist
the length of the leaf
this snail
gathering clouds
he says
what I need to hear
chill in the air
putting the barbecue
back in storage
hot sands
in the children’s hands
ice creams
hanging over
the mourner’s umbrella
churchyard mist
the birthday card
remains unsent
hard rain
midday heat
the ceaseless buzz
of a bee
after thunder
storms the darkness
morning freshness
