Yesterday

Dune Grass

yesterday was hot
but today the fog came
prowling
over the dunes, slipping
off the rooftops and
around corners
softening everything

we left doors and windows open
until
even the stuffy corners held the promise
of Fall

She Wants

She wants
to walk through the silver rain
into one of his pictures
and live there instead of here.

Without his light
her own life seems sadly
underexposed.

Point of View

I had forgotten its fullness had arrived until I came upon its reflected shimmer in a rain puddle on the street.  Colors not evidenced in its original glow swirled in the eddies remaining after the violent intrusion of car wheels.

Inside Out- Haiku Triplet

 

Moss, darkness, cold, cling to

Bones of winter trees

A picture through a window

 

Sprinkles of rain, pelts of hail

Rivers pound boulders

Autos hum in the background

 

Mist obscures the distant peaks

Humus mutes footfalls

Nature from the inside out
