peeps and trills
a winding trail
to the dogwood
*
after a romp
an edge of gold
in the horse’s eye
*
flying squirrel
the ready acceptance
of a thin branch
*
the farm horse
out of harness
scent of straw
*
step stool
learning dad’s ways
to maneuver the brush
*
beach yoga
a sand crab
curls one claw
*
avocado flower
the trail of thin chances
that bring us here
*
a contrail
fading to blue
gallons per second
*
briar and bramble
the unscripted path
of an emerald beetle
