Spring Current spring current budding
tree rain clouds unraveled
hose laying in the damp
grass dew
on the baseball the coat warm shallow pool the
tulip pokes he gives me flowers spring
cleaning crescent moon puddles skinny dipping buzzing
mosquitoes apple blossoms handing
the teacher an apple spring fever swimming
pools low tide old
seashells on the dresser aging woman the
wind stopped easter through
the window biking in the woods cool
breeze through the window low full moon sitting
on the porch swing running water quiet
snoring swaying tree branches waving
goodbye the scent of cherry
blossoms summer

warm bright sun the
alarm awakens me minutes pass by finally
I wake up remembering last night breakfast a warm shower my
appearance slightly changed dress for success the
scent of lilacs a baby rabbit I
stop and wait through the car windows hours
of work stomach growls the
smell of fresh bread the vase on the table plate
of dessert finishing lunch flowers the secretary’s
desk afternoon the clock leaving
work new bird’s nest driving
home favorite chair dinner
cooking through the window an
hour passes early evening turning
on the television the stars outside bedtime
snack the scent of cherry
blossoms lights

spring morn wet
grass cool white sun tall
evergreens blue sky leaves
roll I reel faster soft
splash baiting the hook sirens squirrels the
bell rings moon spotlights green
picnic table squirrels chase beads
of water everywhere dry
leaves church bells children's
laughter my hands are dirty garden-fresh hunting tomato worms- morning
dew a robin running
through wet grass on and on I run a
clatter of toe-nails: the sound of branches wind
howls summer's gone alone
on a sunny bench beautiful weather I
breathe in the fresh spring air dead blossoms I
step out of the water order
