Every Evening

I told Knox I was

too tired to play, but he had

After days of warmth

a chill set in. It won’t be long

before it’s warm again.

Isn’t that the way things go?

and yellow buttercups join

wild strawberries

to take over the lawn. Bees

and butterflies cheer them on.

May the peace of these

rooted trees envelop me

and still my uneasy heart.

Spring Broadcast

May9

It’s almost mid May

and blackberry bushes have

white blossoms, they speak with glee

of the fruit they’ll offer free.
