thermometer on high,
dog barks and wakes me up;
looking outside – shades have spread wide
June 19th
tree branch – heavy leaves –
collapses in my feet –
soft thud, scattered buds
June 18th
burning sun, heated rays,
and the flames of carmine roses,
bare back and drips of sweat
June 17th
searching for the paper fan,
shaking off the dust –
swinging the haze around
May 30th
the shed is now
completely covered with fresh
luxuriance of leaves
May 29th
the gentle caress
of white pollen brushing the ear
startling the summer nap
May 22nd
baby ladybird
tangles in my hair – tiny wings;
a current of warm air
