autumn raspberries
sunlit rosy surprises, gifting
a morning smile

after a still night
 morning bird calls, listen!
a sky orchestra

shedding denim jeans
my caterpillar cuffs uncurl
 flakes of earth

autumn cicadas
gentle song-drops, chirping 
all night lullabies

​crescent moon sisters
one dark when the other is light
sky pirouette

bell-grass whispering,
riding along on her bicycle
laughing in the wind

country post-office,
on her bicycle, legs outstretched
airmail letters home

a girl lives, singing
blue moon, rises, falls, and sets
quietly gazing

overnight, glass meets air
her darkened bedroom window
condensation

cool freckled nose,
just above the warm covers,
​a bird calls goodnight
