a flag flutters above
its shadow

a hummingbird
at the trumpet flower

gathering dusk
the unanswered call
of a dove
tornado watch
something to talk about
at the viewing

how my father would have loved
my son

reunion
his furtive glance
at my nametag

cold front –
an urgent wind
at my back

om
the distant hum
of a leafblower
back to school
nip in the air
of my teenager

cicada song
Spanish moss
dipped in sunlight

rush of wind my imperfect t'ai chi

autumn breeze
escorted to the mailbox
by an acorn
same blue
as ten years ago
empty sky
