Halloween dreams

mid-June hauntings

inspiring October fabrics

rebates & refunds

resources hope

we might soon forget

covers tossed

dressing in the dark

let’s do this

an intractable romance

her unyielding sway

over his heart, his very soul

meadowlarks romp

on the backs of cows

switchgrass bends in the wind

reformulation echoes

the slackened jaws of an era

the forever-grip of time

I spied a sleek young deer today,

reveled in the vigor of its long, long legs

propelling it across the fairway

washer chimes the end of the load

fresh laundry for the line

westerly breeze refreshes all palates

you begin to shimmer

and I pray your chrysalis

might intertwine with mine
