laying on my back
in the garden
trying to recall
what it felt like as a child
to see a cloud for the first time

the bumble bee flits
from blossom to blossom
unaware of its importance
in our lives

Awakened suddenly
I close my eyes tightly
and try to continue the dream
to save the poor young girl from danger,
only to have her disintegrate into another dream.
I feel worthless
the rest of the day.

squeals over the sound
of city traffic

hearing the catbird call
I search the branches to find him
as he plucks the last mulberry
from the tree

the traffic jam on river road-
an opportunity
to catch an Ibis
standing on the water

I make up my own words
to the song Elmo is singing
on the video of the mini-van in front of me

staring tediously at the cat
who is staring intently at the wall
it is only then
I see
the bug

the old maple lies
at the construction site;
the remnants of its tangled roots
reach for the sky
the metal cranes
that stand beside it
reach higher
than the tree ever did

threading her web
between two lilies
the spider prepares for breakfast

as I pass the cosmetics aisle
a familiar scent from my youth
evokes a feeling of deep loss
as I purchase the old fashioned face powder
that my grandmother wore

on the 4th of July
the seed pod liberates itself
from the tree
and spirals free
to land on a blanket

the smell of sunblock
makes the passing cars
sound like waves

sleeps all day
stares out into the darkness all night
because he can
