A flock
of pelicans
turning
OFF and
ON against
this blue sky.

Sun
like gold
on the small
black bird.
The wind lifts
the day
away.
You can go
with it, but
you can't
come back.

Wet hawk on
a wet wind,
hungry for
anything.

Water. Sky.
A line of trees.
Clouds hanging
on the licking breeze.
Just enough is
what I've got.
Sometimes
it's too much.

Scissors, paper, rock?
Bet on the tree,
bet on the wind,
or bet on nothing.

Splittering
clouds, a misting
sky. Morning's
come and gone and
you wonder why.

Cold rain, like a slap
of unhappiness.

He's riding motorcycle
in the rain, and smiling - not
so goofy after all.

The kind
of day
you push
against
the rain
and don't
make plans.

Cattle
on the low-down
ground, bellering
at the cold rain.
It's morning,
and you can't
say more than that.

Fades to grey
in the distance
where the horizon
would be, if
there were one.

Sun and shadow,
field and woods,
wind and wishes
for what?

Sky no higher
than the shoulder
along the road.
Don't let the on-
coming darkness
get you down.

The wind
holds back
the night
but not
for long.

Offering -

Summer rain – the slant
of cool relief.

The million green
shinings
under summer sky.

Wall of
dark cloud,
something
letting go.

Every-

star dust,

Gently
morning -
the light!
