Like eyes heavy with
grief, grey clouds spill a steady
patter of sorrow.
Rain

Like eyes heavy with
grief, grey clouds spill a steady
patter of sorrow.
Like eyes heavy with
grief, grey clouds spill a steady
patter of sorrow.
“There’s always rain at
the most appropriate times
in my life,” he wrote.
Tightly furled like clenched
fists, tentative red-tipped buds
sway on bare branches.
Night pushed back, a dark
blanket kicked aside as the
sun stays wide awake.
Stark trees hide flowing
sap like a dormant love that
awakens in spring.
Snowpack seems solid
but underneath, droplets sing
of melting caverns.
Bored orange nibbles
away black’s filmy fins. Sad
stubs flail lost beauty.
Soon, darkness recedes.
But tonight I wrap myself
in velvet-starred black.
Flat mapped names turn in-
to forested hills, roads wind
towards adventure.
And so summer goes
like fishing line cast into
swift moving waters
