pitter-patter, pitter-patter
tiny bubbles tapping
like raindrops
inside the Coca Cola can
***
at the edge
of robin song...
a crumbling pine cone
***
the last offering
of a pine cone
before the fallen limbs...
the pencil-tree
***
crumbling
into the penciled shadows
of tree limbs...
a pine cone
***
through the gingko-shaped leaves
the woody sweetness
of silence
***
the tangy softness
of the sun
on my tongue...
this nectarine
even better than a kiss!
