Inevitability

Lay with the hourglass
Watch time and form slip away
Empty memories

(Re)Birth

Inside Mother's womb
The unborn child looking out
Now born to the sky

Weakness

worn by the water
the riverbank gives way to
the constant pressure

Bad Girl

A yellow jacket
With black-striped blouse and slacks
A bad girl’s attire

Transformation

Dandelion seed
Drifting in the gentle breeze
Patience. You will land.

Migration

The songbird flew south
Never again looking north
Eternal winter

The Harvest

Swather blades combing
long-haired wheat to the ground
A barber's rhythm
