An’ya

one limb at a time
the falcon calls her fledglings
nearer to flight
*
Indian summer –
the blackness of a buzzard
defines the horizon

*
wildflowers
the hiss of an iron
on wax paper
*
day's tranquility
the contour of doe with fawn
beyond steeping tea
*
summer sky
a hole through the cloud
to its other side

*
view from the bus –
women balance fruit baskets
on top of their heads
*

0a tangerine sunset
where hill meets dale
in the summertime

*
carnival nightfall
the harvest moon rises
over a ferris wheel
*
quiet woodlands
distinctly the drone
of a dragonfly
*
row after row
two draft horses plow –
the odor of potatoes
*
pink sunset
through each flamingo's stance
another flamingo

*
