Leafless vine
the spider thinks how to change
her web in the sun.

Unexpected find these
love letters in a fire-place
behind this false wall.

losing a daughter
to fifteen
in her friends’ way.

in winds to-be-rain
whittling a branch
on my back-yard steps.

dawn solitude
the bay’s lowest ebb
turning.

family album
after lunch mother asks
for help in her garden.

the tidal mud
as we seek
her gold earring.

winter holidays
the warmth from grandma
closing her front door.

beekeeper
how sealed the sun is
in his row of jars.

Telescope
out of infinity
the red plains of Mars.
