    white cloud, one feather

    brown ink and water

    colorado cloud:

    a contour drawing of the little lamb at the farm

may twenty-ninth

    the sky was not nearly this ominous.  

    surreal reality: it’s in the name.

    friendship bridge.

may twenty-eighth

    pools bright

    shadows light

    bird’s eye sea – birds i see

may twenty-seventh

    collage splitting rivers

    sing of bird impressions

    centered parks, treasured walls

may twenty-sixth

    the backyard:

    a deserted sea floor

may twenty-fifth

    the sea returned last night.

    the wind was wild with nostalgia.

    through the window, i heard the backyard sigh.

may twenty-fourth

    charleston corner bar’s festive lights

    your gratitude to such evenings reflects alongside green colors

    within glass, upon the street, behind you where jazz happens

    black too dark

    toss your art into the rain

    you ask, “what was your expression?”

    wonder.

    crayon, watercolor and rain                                                                                  on paper coaster

may twenty-third

    walking in such darkness at night,

    i come upon light tunnels.

    this morning:  the air is heavy with lake feelings.

    pencil and watercolor

may twenty-second

    creases of pine faded fog

    details of the real

    beyond:  there are dreams.

    everyone lives there
