spring against my back
the vibrations
of a hummingbird

scrolling my page
a little black bug
observes my words

spring afternoon
a greeting
from the yard cat

she says goodbye-
rose petals
in the dirt

house finch
the wind chimes
through the garden

too much wine-
dizzy from all the birdsong
this summer morning

bickering in flight..
a blur of emerald and ruby
around the feeder

his arms around me
the mountain ridges-
a light pink sunset

waning moon
the silence
of a sleepless night

never wanting
to change itself
desert rose

separate rooms-
a distance greater
then the moon

these days
the only happiness
at my bird feeder

shards of glass
how quickly I pull away
from his touch

my tears…
rose petals
against a pond

garden buddha
in its palms
fallen petals

spring morning my thoughts drifting bumblebee

worn out
faded patches
of sky
I sit hidden beneath
a blooming tree

tiny fountain
the stillness
of a fern

walking outside
a melody of wind chime
over and over
a deep longing to love
myself a little more
