August morning fog
Disperses during breakfast;
Warm summer sunlight
A dog wanders through the yard,
I wonder where it's going
From a safe distance
A meteor silently
Crosses the earth's path
Coming out of the diner
She's startled by the full moon
A passing stranger
Sings a drunken lullaby
To a memory
All the November storefronts
Are ready for winter sales
He buys a new scarf
And a set of gold earrings
For his fiance
A list of college classes
Offered the next semester
As the leaves turn red
She celebrates her birthday
With a huge desert
Crisp against the April sky
A red-tailed hawk in slow dive
The snow has melted,
And new blades of grass emerge,
And the first campers
On the high valley meadow
A carpet of new flowers
