July 31: Blueberry harvest

At the winnower

many hands glean the berries--

there's a metaphor here.

July 29: After dark

at home after dark
we hear geese flying over
there's Saturn and Mars

July 28: Insomnia

A sort of relief

by the time the first bird sings,

something else awake.

July 27: Backroads

Driving home after dinner

fawn in the headlights,

stars out the window.

July 26: Body art

In from the garden

my arms are smeared with

saffron patches of pollen.

July 25: Meditation

Among the flowers

bees and a skipper.

No politics tonight, dear.

July 24: Wealth of orange

In the trailer park,

by the cellar hole--

every yard rich with lilies.

July 23: In the green temple of our backyard

Rumbles of thunder--

ash tree becomes oracle,

birdsong litany.

July 22: Day lilies

Stealing lilies

under cover of dark

from my absent neighbor's yard.

July 21: Cat nap

Hazy afternoon.

Cat's mournful song of outside

keeps me awake.
