this morning
hummingbirds zigzag
through the bee balm
_______________
midday heat
honey bees bead
the birdbath’s rim
_______________
red bridge
a boy on his tummy
tickles a spotted koi
_______________
September light--
her spidery veins
celestial blue
_______________
shorter days
her daily path
shorter too
