I saw the sunrise

that we are but on a speck

your smile — a delight

this path is flooded

waits, watches, ruffles, then flies

you lay cleft at dawn

thirty little squares

an ancient forest of life

absolute values

this year you have bloomed

asymptote, vanishing point

beauty in my home

a simplicity

rotational — reflective

of utter delight

lift yourself with breath

like the sound of waves pulling

to what reference?

He has a paintbrush

you have been trained to lure us

at the lowest tide

reminders of love

about all your vertices

choices have been made

modest are the trees

settle down in the long light

such different days

fire’s fingers dance,

my precious chickadee-dee

birds flit from my path

I see you peeking

will be erased by time’s tides

that you still love them

my luck dragon came

greater than Saturn — painted

ablutions from sky

you take off and fly

hummingbird stopped me to talk

the spring surprises

my mind ebbs and flows

and dip myself in the clouds

to then turn around

there are these comets

bring brown creepers to focus

in growth together

a vortex caught me

to the heights that we desire

another planet

a tide of forest

to be a portal of sky

joyfully alive

“it’s the hill your on”

may be the wettest or tough

raining from the sky

white smeared on the blue

smoothing bumps, magnifying

mirrors for inside

I saw you today

from the evening robins’ beaks
