july's calendar

backyard architecture the dirt castles of ant hills

delta variant maybe it's time to mask up again

toads the only patio furniture I have

somewhere between broke and broken the gate and my bank account

mysterious bird illness the vast emptiness of skies without wings

out of nowhere the plastic bag's flight faster than I can chase it

summer invasives nothing's eating those berries

heat and humidity part of july's calendar

Minimalism Made Simple



Universal Truths


sun-damaged youth every mole is suspicious

political arena my daily news dose of depression

baptist church faith grows in the wildflower garden

portland, moscow, lytton we can't go north to cool off

daisy circles clocking summer's passage

mental illness the lengths between hurdles and silences

rivers rising to the cymbals of thunder and the drums of rain

universal truths I don't believe in heaven or hell

The New Chapter


summer lightning pages of sky briefly lit

rumble of fireworks nature and human nature

repeating myself like the weather

fresh clover the rabbit's return after the rain

new chapter the one armed reading glasses retired

uap report I'm not surprised there are no surprises

holding up better than the border wall the division between dems and the gop

occluded front what biden said vs. what biden meant

2017 flashback over 500,000 fugitives removed from the gun background check database*

ohio rally the trump nightmare continues

repeating myself like the weather

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
