sixty years (plus) in the making, #121
roots weave through dark halls
of stones I’ve stacked one by one
flowers a silken bloom
melt, #120
1.
summer wheat harvest
between stubble tire tracks
seed sown rows of spring
2.
suddenly a song
a tree of paper lanterns
nowhere else to go!
3.
summer smoke melted
soaked in golden autumn leaves
bathing the blue sky
looking, #119
who cracked the walnut
looking for the meat inside…
instead finds autumn!
summer – autumn, #118
1.
quail skitters across
one shadow to another
skating on thin ice
2.
below the maples
a light in the midnight soil
blooms autumn crocus
3.
a shivering breeze
a red leaf landing below
whispering autumn
summer flames, #117
a crack in the haze
particles from distant flames
fire’s glow unseen
early September, #116
I spent the last 8 days quietly: off of the computer, no pencil and paper, email or reading.
My schedule allowed me to walk in the early morning and late evening.
Below are photographs taken this week representing each day:

There is small patch of dry soil on the corner of 6th and Jackson streets. Two of its sides are boarded by a fence at the edge of a paved parking lot. The other two sides by the curve of the sidewalk. Because we have had little rain this patch of ground has gotten little water. The soil is as white and hard as the concrete that surrounds it. I would have paid little attention to it except for sprouting in the barely discernible crack between the sidewalk and the soil is an Indian Blanket whose blooms are saturated in reds and yellows. The Indian blanket is a drought hardy plant, but I was amazed that something so beautiful and vibrant could come from, in my view, the harsh conditions of the hard and dry soil.
while the day’s traffic
stops and goes to red and green…
a silent witness
