Observations

I
a small child’s bootprints
sunk and speaking in the snow;
vanishing timespace

II
spring heron in flight
Rachmaninov’s opus soars;
eyes with new vision

III
leaves float in a creek
autumn insects sing laments;
sweetness of apples

IV
ecstatic rush o
summer’s blooms on crisp clean sheets;
laughter at midday
