billowing the blue

on the old oak

on the play
of another summer day

a motionless twirl
sunflower’s
circle upon circle
Magic And Laundry
zinnias watch the day unfold
the driftwood horse oversees
sheets drying in the summer breeze

in the field, parallel to each other
at the table, perpendicular to the butter dish

the world small
but still big enough

the colors tango
blue cross step, lavender dip

lean upon
the dependability
of day

finding the courage
for all the flights
after the first

fairy godmother of
mysteries and miracles
