After my jog/walk today...

Twister turning
a cricket
under a rumble of feet

***

spinning top
a cricket under a rumble
of feet

***

spinning top
a cricket
under a rumble of feet

***

crisp breeze
on every runner's back
sweat of angel wings

***

crackling chatter
at the fountain's edge
brown jays

Labyrinth Thoughts

wiping its nose
within the sleeves
of its feathers...
mockingbird

***

alone on this journey
my spirit found me
in the bends and folds
of this labyrinth

***

within this labyrinth
the beginning
the end...
all the same

***

on this journey
the only friend,
my spirit who found me
in the breaths and folds
of this labyrinth

***

my lost spirit
wandering on this journey
I found it again
in this labyrinth garden

***

at the labyrinth's edge
my spirit eclipses
the sunset

Rain, rain, please come again

high heat index--
my mosquito bite
the size of a fat raindrop
