AMAZE

Terrie Leigh Relf

outside my kitchen window

above
the neighbor's roof
just beneath the storm-cleansed
sky, alongside a crippled palm
the moon

fall storm

rained in
she took boxes
string, tape, and crayons to
create a stage for Hawaiian
lu'aus

giggling
mom and daughter swing their hips off
rhythm with a spring storm
singing slightly
off-key
