Destiny’s Tales
~~ 1 ~~
tangled in the tree
two crimson kites with white tails—
seven startled wrens
~~ 2 ~~
old paper, fresh words
torn envelope the canvas
for brushing haiku
~~ 3 ~~
a brown paper bag
clutched in a child’s fist holding
all of creation
~~ 4 ~~
addled gardener
dropping her gloves in the path
as the wild goose calls
~~ 5 ~~
In her new language
she sings of running naked
through the April rain.
~~ 6 ~~
hoisting new lumber
onto his bruised right shoulder—
the builder of dreams
~~ 7 ~~
caught in the headlights
of a passing patrol car—
fumbling teenagers
~~ 8 ~~
On green park benches
old women wearing purple
celebrate the sun.
~~ 9 ~~
Far from the suburbs
an old woman is striding
toward her destiny.
~~ 10 ~~
walking through the woods
on her way to somewhere else—
rumblings of thunder
~~ 11 ~~
To open the book
she needs only a moment
and a trembling hand.

Brushed
Twilight, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
canvas of the sky
brushed with clouds and withered leaves—
the shape of twilight
~~ ~~ ~~
howling at daybreak
pack of restless coyotes
slouching toward the sun

splashing his canvas
with sunrises and lizards
brushstrokes made with joy
