Hoping in vain for the sun to quickly dry wings not ready for flight while the storm clouds lean to the earth in their heaviness. It was a mistake to choose this very place to hope. Mothness . . .

Dislodged pebble rolls,
Writes its journey in the sand--
A legend is born.

Cats’ necks crane—silence . . .
Summer grass rustles below;
Necks adagio!
A nose appears, black.
Two ears twitch beside antlers
Covered with velvet.
Graceful, cautious walk.
A tail twitches . . .

The sleeping cat murmurs
And stretches luxuriantly
Perhaps dreaming of fantastic adventures
And passionate love affairs
Which like with human beings
Seldom if ever happen . . .

Couples walking side by side, hand in hand
Sharing the beauty of the day.
I wonder if they realize how lucky they are
Just to have someone to walk with

After the funeral friends and strangers parted
from me like the river splits to bypass
a stand of sand and willows.
It has been so long since we fished,

The Diggers sway, lean out needled fingers
in easy forty-fives, wrench back, gray turnings
of sap greens: rain's way of backspacing
tints and tones, pixel by pixel, erased. . . .

So tiny, so perfect, so unique
Innocent precursor of power and fury
Formed by the hand of a master artist
Vanishing almost before it is noticed
Settling on a blade of buffalo . . .

High in the Rockies
Blanketed now with snow
Often unmarred even by
The tracks of animals
Is the High Lonesome.
Late in the Spring
When the snow has melted
The meadows come alive . . .

Peace accompanies their truth--

I. Modern Plantation
The asphalt is perfect, and uncrowded by sidewalks it flows quietly past the security gate and into the fetid world.
Houses stand apart behind their unraveled nets of pine and . . .

Locomotive clouds
express to darkening sky
moving moan of bending trees
leaves clinging to whip branches
hawk laughingly surfing aloft
down feather tornadoes warmly spinning

On Monday the air at my open window came in uninvited
and at such a pace: not a run, not a skip, but with the sweep

Into view from the desolate window
red bud's rotting leaves, the malnourished tree
I planted as a string, one of 12,
compensation for Arbor Day Foundation
