on foggy days
each rock makes promises
broken by waves

in silence
a leaf falls

red roses scattered
the shore a silent witness
gulls keen overhead

a low flying vulture
considers his options
my eyes, shaded

leaves growing green
deeper than lost shadows
birdsong soundtrack
bleached driftwood sleeping
blanketed by swaying grass
a chorus of frogs
the pull of the beach
an ocean mesmerized
toes curl in the sand
blossoms punctuate
this animated landscape
spring revelation
intertidal echoes
resonate against the sand
gulls soar overhead

rain beats a blue song
from clouds rubbing shoulders
your smile, a sunbeam

playfully the wind
pulls the bowler from my head
pirouetting I snatch it back
edges softened
by ten gallons of rain
broad enough for a dry neck
this hotel lobby
has many ways to spend money
I gamble on a hat
autumn is perfect
for sacrificial wicker
Brooks Brothers throwback
in Montreal for work
I find a shrine for hats
Borsalino paradise
on a forest walk
spiders fall from overhead
evading swallows
I don’t wear ballcaps
give me a fedora instead
it rains, I smile
at the front door
I ponder which hat to wear
children laugh outside
unleashed, her hair
flies triumphantly up
a golden crown
woven cedar strips
bridging cultures and form
one more seagull target
silhouetted
crisp brim unmistakable
it’s the police
I find a feather
its beauty calls me skyward
to mourn lost flocks

snowmen bleed out
flooding paths with memories
smiles return to earth

raindrops ripcord
into snowflakes stuttering
frozen hearts thaw
