Some Small Stones
Cool sunset
the peach ice cream clouds
all fade to gray
*In the black silence
between crickets and bird song
your sleeping breath*
this plastic container
just the right size
for taking a tail-less lizard outside
and depriving the cats
of their toy*
This chipped mug
from a broken set
painted with irises
from someone I love*
A golden swirl of cirrus crosses the sunset sky, like the contrail of an angel.
*Bright morning breeze
on the top of the wall
crow meets her shadow
