spring training —
a father catches
his breath

sun after rain
tadpoles in a circle
point inward

Good Friday
the sudden whiteness
of hawthorn

empty pan
on the radiator —
May begins

holding high “mi”
on my air guitar —
spring morning

misty rain
the clown painting
he meant to leave me

soft greens
and cherries full bloom —
but peace?

Earth Day
only a cherry petal
in the donation jar

the kite’s tail
ripped from knotty branches —
mockingbird song

blue butterfly
a little girl whistling
to herself
