dumpling steam rises
old exhaust fan roars and pulls
clean, white cardboard waits

Summer Triangle
tacked to the blue-black heavens
which star's pointed up?

blink


What is it that's so charming about firefly light? It's the character of the flash, a piano-like softness of the approaching glow, followed by full brightness, a gradual diminution, all in a very short space of time.

fireflies’ soft blink
from dogwood, hemlock, rosebush
patience; there’s one now !
