A dawn breeze stirs
into the fish pond
a leaf lets the moon.

Sky dive
every fear at the door
coming together.

After the movie
a park bench bearing fruit
a small red apple.

Fair grounds
from police to the cola can
the lost child’s stare.

Early breakfast
an already summer dawn
baking the kitchen.

Two loud shrieks!!
the child’s torchlight
into the parrot’s cage.

eggs on toast, coffee…
a nearly forgotten dream
coming to mind

The slow softening
under stones
a wet weekend.

Baby-sitting daughter
the scowl on her face
Saturday night.

Fruit bowl
no student yet painting
the apple’s bruise.
