deeply passionate

vehemence of a convert

her vegan diet

-kaa

meeting the school bus
parade of kids and a cat
mom with trombone case

-kaa

heavy morning mist
brightness of the sun obscured
pale yellow circle

-jws

her brother painted
canvas after canvas
neighborhood fungus

-kaa

rushing through the door

thinking of the day ahead

wet coat drags behind

-kaa

Happy Fall Equinox!

the sound of raindrops

autumn opening her eyes

before a long nap

-kaa

tears run down my cheeks
rain falls from a heavy sky
thinking of my dad

-jws

dog sniffing the grass
small moth flutters to his nose
startled, a loud bark

-kaa

preparing dinner
carrot stick plunks on the floor
its sound is empty

-kaa

waiting by the door
beauty of uncertainty
fades away within

-kaa

chasm of sadness
covered by sparsely placed planks
worried she'll fall in

-kaa

small gray-haired lady
she talks of wanting to die
light shines in her eyes

-jws

small dog sits quite still
stares intently at the door
waits for her return

-jws

cornfield in the sun
stalks bending in a soft breeze
high above--vultures

-jws

pregnant on the vine
it will bloom for just one night~
the moonflower bud

-jws

talking to the tech
monday morning blood screening
she mentioned oncology

-kaa

half-eaten dinner
she runs to see her boyfriend
fly on garlic bread

-kaa

at dusk a lone frog
dark, ominous clouds gather
into its stillness

-kaa

sun rising through trees-
white pebble on the sidewalk
casts a long shadow

-jws

woman dressed in white
walks across an open field
pulling a child's bike
