hidden inside skeins
of multicolored floss —

through my crystal water glass —

daddy on the roof
changing swamp cooler hay

crossing the ditch

crossing the ditch
on the way home from school —

in a mason jar

endless shining stars
reaching for infinity

the shiny concrete driveway
muffled sounds of rain

across the paper tablecloth
ants
carry picnic crumbs

no rest for mom —
kittens tumble
across the lawn

taking out garbage

taking out garbage
is no big deal —
yet why is it always
two hours later
before I’m finally done?
.
out to get the mail

out to get the mail
sweltering summer heat
forgotten —
chirping birds!

chai or english breakfast blend?
waiting
for the kettle to boil

moon shadows
follow me

streams
through sparkling windows —
dust motes
dance in midair

run down my arms —
in the kitchen sink
watermelon seeds

hidden
under the oleander
shadow grey cat
