a spiral beauty

little hummingbirds come, go.

fog rolls in like tide

seeds we plant today

reflecting from this good earth

the remnants of life

you swept over me

but let those volunteers grow

off of you in age

tuck your babies in

flutters and swirls before me

in hopes of french fries

how the light alone

that you stand alone out here

to be swept by wind

you were in my hands

with the magnitude of life

cradled by the Earth

cumulative drops

that provide us with brilliance

as I lean to you

cottonwoods have arms

find the space within your mind

in waves of cawing

the silver lining

constructed with four circles

such different days

sing to the kitties

from the evening robins’ beaks

spirals of corners

I have a fixed point

could sum the beats of a life

to the norms of life

oh, fairyslipper

change my radius of thought

p of finding nuts

oh my! look at you

a head injury, a loss

and create you own

life shows its beauty

of light and shadow, those lines

our place in the stars

we perch at the top

what this small, precious world needs;

birds flit from my path

the sea leaves presents

look inwards with boundlessness

you — your silhouette

fog again today

at the leaves that you have lost

have ever loved me

you asked permission

you are like honey and light

the spring surprises

in a full orbit

place them in your mind’s pocket

of thought means nothing

I dream that you kiss
