spring wind
the wild geese’s course
hits turbulence
_______________
crack of thunder . . .
yellow tulips cascade
from the split poplar
_______________
April rain
landscape gravel washing
into the goldfish pool
_______________
out of the sunrise
a dark swallow curving
with the river’s ess
_______________
mid step
a timber rattlesnake coiled
in the barn shadows
