morning light a strand of spider web freed from its moorings
bluebird box the small space of survival
cottonwoods cluttering the air with their seeds
after the rain the dog-day cicadas start up like lawn mowers
political climate hotter than global warming
tiger lilies all orange and no drama
early august some part-time relief from a fair-weather cloud
Sulphur Springs' memorial the 100th anniversary of Missouri's worst train wreck
