morning workouts
watched closely by railbirds
eyes on stopwatches

practice prevention

Heart speaks to heart
and a miracle occurs
Newman Beato!

for Dylan Thomas

From his hand verse
would flow so easily
so too cups that felled him

gopher heads for his hole
every step taken slowly
Florida gopher turtle

soft cooing from doves

I hear as I walk

earth day morning

Massa candida
lives fused by hope
faithful unto death

No. 42


Spring day '47
Jackie takes the field - some 'boo'
America changes
morning star in the dawn sky
grass still wet from dew
the commute can wait

Easter Mass at dawn
folding chairs glisten with dew
we welcome Jesus

Chocolate bunnies
Easter eggs in pastel colors
Where is the cross?

caterpillar's fruit
with every bite I take
I risk finding half

Easter eggs aside
spring itself reminds us
"He is Risen"
kites catch the wind
in the late afternoon
paper birds in flight

African migrants
lost at sea, within sight of land
as G20 meet.

Catbird on a fence
from his perch -- the world
gray eminence
tiny red beads
move along green leaves
ladybugs are here!

dented cans - half price
some without labels
I reach for hidden treasures
another green leaf
serves as the salad course
hungry caterpillar munches

morning coffee
cools on a cluttered desk
damn all multi-taskers
