It soon comes our way
Spring fever compels the Flaneur to a voluptuary's pursuit of poetry.
...
Alone in a courtyard
a hummingbird drinks rain drops
on the fly
Alongside the creek
light reflects on shady trees
so real so unreal
Hot wind in the firs
that red amid the green brush
golf ball bumble bee
A loop of birdsong
rhododendron round-about
all the leaves have eyes
2007
Purple chalk powder
accumulates to the west
illusory sky
Louder than the sea
wild wind in the tall pines
everything moves
Huge clouds billow
over the welling green hills
'danger falling cones'
A fallen flower
dangling in a spider's web
interests the cat
Two bright lady bugs
revolve on blue balustrade
vacant lot smells fennel
Stoned alone in church
like a wonder-cabinet
deep silent prayer
Morning glories bob
birds hurdy-gurdy the trees
forget I'm outdoors
A heat-wave in May
magenta arabesque clouds
lone bat passes by
The leaky faucet
a wee bird knows to drink from
all for survival
A crow flies over
with a bird bone in its beak
business is business

Cats listen to birds
and hear the carillon bells
but not as music
Bench under the bells
a panoply of teardrops
valley in the clouds
The bat cat out back
hunts bugs in semi-darkness
friday night traffic
Behind our chapel
the deepest scent of roses
in a deep red whorl
