her smile…says: Jubilant
Ah, the deep woods –
so quiet one can hear
blossoms fall

simply for all this
as if there was nothing else
early spring sunlight

100 days…29th day
Trailed with clouds
The layered memories
Of time forever gone
Stands between us now
In this spring dawn

100 days…28 days
sweet peas blooming –
seasons of time, echoing
“Mom’s favorite flower.”

100 days…27th day
From this day forward,
you will be Canadian geese-
may you thrive in peace

100 days…City Park
simply for all this,
as if there were nothing else,
heavy wet spring frost

Spring wanes,
warbles leave –
blossoms gone, too

Not seen at blossom time
dusk deepening
in green leaves
