A sultry night
A sultry night
in Big Sur, I stand
agape
at all the stars.

In the parking lot
In the parking lot –
one car, one crow,
a mountain of sand.

Wood
The old wooden shed
all tore down
becomes firewood.

Overloaded
with scavenged wood,
the wheelbarrow creaks…

Potted lilies, white
Potted lilies, white
await the kiss of light –
circle of cat dreams.

Looking at my lunch

Black flies buzz my head
Black flies buzz my head –
above the ridge a condor

Whack!
Whack!
The fly swatter shatters

What appears to be and a cuckoo calls
What appears to be
a cross on a distant hill,
a telephone pole.

A cuckoo calls
from a tree, a cuckoo calls
but not for me.

to start an engine – Pop! Pop!

A skunk in the house
A skunk in the house,
cowering in a corner.
Leave him alone
and open the door.

Unseen in a tree
Unseen in a tree
an owl calls, who?
I answer, me.

A Hummingbird zips
all around my head!

Wind chimes tinkling
Wind chimes tinkling
and the buzzing of bees,
a Monarch flits by.

I wake to the sound
I wake to the sound
of rain on the roof,
faint light in the East.
A few lines from late February. I woke to sunshine this morning.

Pulling prayer flags
Pulling prayer flags
from the rain gutter,
more wind today…

Driving through
the Big Sur night, creeping fog
swallows my light.

As I drive by,
an eruption of starlings
from the green.
