a crow alights
on a slender, bare branch,
riding the bounce.

a crow alights
on a slender, bare branch,
riding the bounce.

canna lily blooms
catch the light of sunrise as
stems sleep in the shade.

fallen petals
swept by undulating waves
into a neat pile.

a tree reaches
toward the pond; the pond
reaches back again.

summer sun
rises over the lake.
somewhere, church bells chime.
