in june new bloom strewn
under the sunshine in fertile tundra
blossom in the round
winter fall into the lap of summer
slap by lightning hit the ground
surround sound strike thunder
impose the roses windy blows
rain fall down
out of sort the day
paint sea and sky in gray
an altogether haze
that dim the sight of Gardiner’s Bay
rejoice the woodland creature
warmer wood would soon beseech her
an open field to land
sandy beaches fill with clam
beavers build a dam
birds take flight
day and night
to dance by dawns early light.
Red Fairy Dust
perceive a leaf adrift in wind of seasons lifted spin
