caught
between sunlight and shower
cabbage butterfly
....................mb
a black and white kite
dips and soars
...................sm
quietly
notes from the piano
echo on
...................mb
she runs a finger
along the dusty blind
...................sm
so bright
in an open sky
this summer moon
...................mb
dark glasses cover
his dilated eyes
...................mb
ice cold tequila-
a pinch of salt
and slice of lime
...................sm
ripples of goose bumps
after our first kiss
...................mb
beach walk
he patiently teaches her
to skip stones
...................sm
buried under one marker
the married couple
...................mb
family heirloom-
two hundred year old
gold ring
...................sm
estate auction sale
all of their treasures sold
...................mb
rainy moon
by the front gate
she bids him goodnight
...................sm
migratory birds
and the stillness they leave
...................mb
lightning flash-
a breathless wait
under the thunder
...................sm
the familiar smell
of freshly laundered sheets
...................sm
silken web
of a cocoon shell
laced with snow
...................mb
around the Christmas tree
lie gaily wrapped presents
...................sm
a circle
beneath the lilac bush
these fallen petals
...................mb
still morning
a skylark's fading song
...................sm
