haunting melancholy
the lake at dusk
waves gentle tall reeds

haunting melancholy
the lake at dusk
waves gentle tall reeds
two friends walk in tandem
headed the same direction
yet on very different paths

hot, hazy, humid
remembered
ten-year-old summer days


sun ascends the horizon
large scarlet ball in the sky
wildfire’s smoke not yet dissipated
puppy barks at the front door
jumps on the bed to peer out the window
protecting his people, his top priority
