How Summer?

I find
apple blossoms
and press them flat in books
to try to save a tiny slice
of spring.


Antarctica

Among
the sea lies land
encased in endless ice
that thaws in its own time to form --
more sea.

Moon Slip

Adrift
on waves of sky,
runaway sloop that slipped
its berth, this brilliant crescent glides
and flies.

Cycle

Bleeding
into sunset,
sky heals itself at night
to blush again in innocence
at dawn.

Carlsbad Caverns - Dusk

Bats swarm
into the wind --
long strings of smoky pearls
unstrung and thrown with force against
the night.
