watch someone else
the promise of rain

cleaning trout
still trying to
say something

along the river
in a green mirror—
my silence

the litanies together
april rain

winter dark—
the snowy trailer park
strewn with ashes

rising out of my body
all the clouds at war

reincarnation
each raindrop
lost at sea

changing
into a new dress
you blush at the way
my hair smells of the rain

river song
her baby drifts
to sleep

the lavender barely alive
among the dead

frog in the crack of bricks
after two day's rain

in my travel mug
the forest's darkness

sleeper train
a snowshoe hare
from Narnia

the ocean's depth
a three year old
finds a puddle

harvest moon
the tides seem to feel
a connection
