May Day 22

white sails

the
lilies
are blooming
pearlescent flutes,
ambassadors of peace with prickly tongues

May Day 21

tread-softly

horse
nettle
deadly weed,
taint of poison,
apple of sodom, bane of innocents

May Day 13

the gloaming

cool
dusk slips
into night
it is quiet
but for the leaves whispering in the breeze

May Day 12

magnolia

soon
she will
be blooming,
magnolia,
petals bursting in brief, fragrant splendor

May Day 5

the rain

how
freely
each droplet
surrenders…would
that I could lose myself so completely
