sunny Sunday —
carpenter bees working
the new shed

railway station . . .
a banyan tree’s roots
yet to reach the ground

garden pond
a koi nibbles
at spring rain

dandelion bouquet —
I wash the bitterness
from his hands

gentle rain . . .
apple blossom footprints
around the teacher’s desk

aspen plumes
shower Sacagawea’s statue —
midday silence

late afternoon
up to its belly in hyacinths
a pregnant buffalo

May sun
I’m the one
the puppy comes to

a small cup
with a broken handle . . .
Baby’s Tears

animal skull
the child fingers
her eye
