Dreaming of the One
This week’s words are: chance, nest, secret, clever, swept, ripe, blinked, stars, basket, flesh, saw, hand
~~ 1 ~~
I dream of the one
who stole my seven ripe plums,
while I blinked back tears.
~~ 2 ~~
I dream of the one
whose basket was filled with stars,
harvested by hand.
~~ 3 ~~
I dream of the one
who thought himself so clever
that he swept my heart.
~~ 4 ~~
I dream of the one
who saw my naked flesh, yet
did not turn away.
~~ 5 ~~
I dream of the one
I met by chance one evening
in a secret place.
~~ 6 ~~
I dream of the one
who helped the wren pad her nest
before the storm struck.

The Dancers
The dancers allege
that nothing can take the place
of an all-night whirl.
~~ ~~ ~~
The dancers conceal
their true purpose in whirling
from midnight to sunrise.
~~ ~~ ~~
The dancers propose
a toast to the old fiddler,
who keeps them whirling.

Betrayed
Fallen bougainvillea bracts, Southern California
Who betrayed these bracts,
tossing them into the grass
to fade and wither?

Uncertainty
Jardín de las Rosas, Morelia, Michoacán, México
Sitting on the fence
uncertainty gnaws at him—
hungry little mouse.

Only for an Hour
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Psalm 103:15-16, King James Version
Only for an hour
blossoms tame or wild flower,
then they fade away.

Sizzling desert light—
shifting shadows writhe and dance,
conjuring spring rain.
