Ghosts
of cloud
and fog
haunt
the dawn

August 30, 2016: Yesterday evening

Evening

layers

cloud kingdoms

of

storm

shower

and sky

August 29, 2016: Resuming

A burning raft
of fiery cloud
floats
in a serene sea
of blue dawn

August 16, 2016

Afternoon

heaves up

a spontaneous

mountain range

of cloud

as solid

as the Rockies

as impermanent

as quickly fading

summer

August 13, 2016: Before at Eaux Claires

Cloud vision
of a blue
summer’s day

erased
by grief
time
or
inattention

to be redrawn
by the perfect
or perfectly deceptive
brush of memory

Written at the Eaux Claires Festival in response to Gregory Euclide’s interactive piece: With Our

There Being The White Side of Here

The camera’s eye

cannot capture

the gradual blush

of sunset’s reflection

when the shadows

momentarily lighten

before twilight 

returns

to enfold

evening

in dim purple

8/9/16: Front

Moody gray
and
gathering
the face
of the sky
transforming
change
in the weather?

8/8/16: Clouds again

Luxurious rafts

of satin clouds

gently drift

above lacy reefs

of cloud coral

in an upside down

ocean

of fathomless

blue

August 7, 2016

Late afternoon
daydreaming
stepping
up
cloud to cloud
to stand
tall
on top of 
the blue

August 6, 2016

Delicious
cream puff clouds
served up
on a perfect tray
of blue sky

August 4, 2016

Evening

sails in

on cooler breezes

that a lone hawk

rides

in a joyful spiral

into blue

August 3, 2016

Wood

once shaped by man

now reclaimed

by nature’s

patient forces

water

weather

and time

August 2, 2016

Memories

of cool water

and dancing lilies

sooth my

anxious soul
