passing storm no trip worse than a guilt trip

A Wish For Rain

spam mail and robocalls I'm popular again

tiger lilies stretching into the sunshine

unrelenting heat the breeze is missing

wild raspberries if they had a wish it would be for rain

marbling the paint has its own ideas

cedar siding getting old like me

weather predictions about as accurate as a horoscope

chemotherapy wigs each style a different shade of hope

solitude a blue island between clouds

traveling again a paper airplane lands on the rocking chair

morning dj some wild blackberry tunes from the brown thrasher

         216 days until christmas

(time zone results may vary)

a "good morning" accident the "joy to the world" coffee mug unscathed

growing older I see my quotation marks repeat themselves

middle east cease fire the smaller birds chase the hawk away

trump de fleur in the legal woes he planted

may be cloudy more than rainy

saturday's garage sale sunday's news

uneven sidewalk a sparrow pecks at a ritz cracker

pond sunrise the wisps of fog forgotten

QAnon and Cyber Ninjas at least the UFO's are real

memorial day talk near the maple tree you planted

tail o'clock

nature's politics the atmosphere recharged by lightning

fog in motion above the rain cooled pavement 

tail o'clock at 3:30 am the cat's day is just beginning

origami sculpture a yellow butterfly flits past the fabricated steel

red-winged blackbird trilling away the morning rush hour

every spring the silk fluff of cottonwood trees 

mid-may maybe we should keep wearing our masks

road trip an old gas pump its last sale for thirty-four cents
