poet outreach
allied spirits
lyricism, our bond
in the very early a.m.
out the door under a still-night sky
so many discoveries along the way
dark yields to light, then the pouring rain
2nd act
newly christened
I aspire
to a flaneur calling
minnesota magic
haunting melancholy
the lake at dusk
waves gentle tall reeds
everyone’s solo journey
two friends walk in tandem
headed the same direction
yet on very different paths
july afternoon
hot, hazy, humid
remembered
ten-year-old summer days
o canada!
sun ascends the horizon
large scarlet ball in the sky
wildfire’s smoke not yet dissipated
potential assassins, these neighbors’ dogs & their humans…
puppy barks at the front door
jumps on the bed to peer out the window
protecting his people, his top priority
