historic district --
an old sidewalk trips up
the blossom gazer

it's pink! it's purple!
sunset inspires
more bickering

frogpond, Vol. XXVIII, #2 (2005)

of every hue --
one tiny white one

hanging around under
a holy-card cloud

up from his sickbed --
the neighbors' tulips
come and gone

blossom remnants
on tree branches --
cattail armies march in place

bathtub spider --
she wants it caught
and brought outside

no one's clicking
my blogger photo --
better borrow baxter's

two inches
of April rain --
dogwood blossoms float by

Earth Day:
driving her Hummer
to the Recycling Center

an oldie:

earth's birthday:
recycling
our Valentine cards

on the river bank --
the yellow scull pulls ahead

unrepaired gate:
cleaning up after
the neighbor's dog

pussywillow catkins
brush my face --
purring

from the dogwoods

easter bedtime -
a tiny handful
of candy wrappers and germs

sugar crash:
easter joy
sinks with the sun

yelling at my parents
for yelling at eachother

Easter, 4 A.M. --
chocolate mustaches
on father and son

belly-button chakra?
forgotten belt buckle
in the MRI

this one made aurora smile,
so it gets double-duty today:

rain on
my bald spot --
recalling dry-scalp Aprils

full moon
in a mostly-cloudy sky --
just a glimpse

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

our drive home --
the full moon
loses its halo

baby-boomer
all-nighter --
not the fun kind

a squirrel lugs
half a bagel up the tree --
nearly Passover

two boys giggle
when the priest says "ass" -
Palm Sunday

haven't seen
that graceful neck all winter --
two geese swim past

peepers
peeping and peeping -
my bed's half empty

Thursday, April 06, 2006

II: 096

waiting
for the alarm to buzz --
sunbeams warm my ear

Wednesday, April 05, 2006

II: 095

april shivers -
our winter coats
all at the dry cleaner

Tuesday, April 04, 2006

II: 094

trudging back
to fetch a snow brush --
april showers

April rain --
today
the river's coming to me

[April 2, 2005 -
a year ago, floods along the Mohawk]
