| Mary Lou Griffith (page 2 of 2) |
a swarm of gnats going nowhere over this pond |
unblinking trout the flick of his tail� brook master |
dyeing day� furling silks color the breeze |
eons of caresses and play� the pines and the wind |
night wind pesters the loose screen door |
bouncing branch� whistlestop for departing sparrow |
waterfall pond� cupped edges catching circles, circles |
quail family grazing through yesterday's tracks |
mountain blush kiss of the sunset� spring heat |
 |
desert night� so many stars camouflaging constellations! |
a falling leaf drifts into my teacup I watch it steep |
peering under a tree heavy with its fruit |
girls busy braiding crowns of daisies |
