exploding out of a crack
in the paving stones
I don’t stop the cat
from swatting at a big flyrazzing through the house
Warm late spring night—
against a lavender skyshadow people pass
*
New lemon blossoms—
the cat rolling in the dirt,its coat shinier
The sun’s reflection
in a puddle of water—soft rain is falling
The cat’s eyes widen
when a fire truck screams by—fading summer dusk
*
Little black birds poised
on strands of telephone wiresin a huge blue sky
Jade and caramel
pebbles shining on the beach—my pockets are full
Blinding silver waves
crash and tumble toward the shore—a surfer rides them
*
cat curled on my lap
.
