flounders
on the canvas

eats sunflowers
& bees

paints lavender
travels to Iceland

questions power
consequences/identity

the wisdom of the bristlecone
or ginkgo

a bee walks across a sunflower

i remember Anne Frank, Isak Dinesen,
Virginia Woolf

a Forever stamp The Art of Magic

wayward
independent
flowerbeds & trees
angel, cloud
lion, rabbit
hummingbird

the angle of
perception
crucial

slipping into
imagination
or maybe
ambiguous
wavering/continuous

of nasturtiums
& dahlias


*

we knit
our lives
with
clouds
memories
stars


*

we take
shelter
on the preserve
& build a fire

we reupholster the chair
make more coffee

to walk
without destination
essential

a book
balances the books

balances
the life to keep
equilibrium

*

outside the dream

inside the surreal/unexpected


*

rain & snow & sun

anywhere in time

the river
