from lush green hills,
the city is painted
in hazy blue-gray.

from lush green hills,
the city is painted
in hazy blue-gray.




cool, idyllic day:
summer rallies a last stand,
before the Fall.

hay is baled, and
the pasture is empty:
still, but for cloud drift.

twin butterflies
spiral around each other
with spastic gravity.

cattails, willows, &
river: each has its own rhythm
in a summer breeze.

diligent spider
works its catch
into a meal.

in stillness,
the mantis becomes
vegetation.




willows cascade,
evoking waterfalls
on craggy cliffs.
