Jam-Packed June

child's paint water
disappearing
into brown carpet
~
gift-plant stowaway
singing all night
in the house
~
interior designer's
elegant home--
the dusty skylight
~
successful short flight
from privet to windowsill
two young cardinals
~
three words
striking fear in her heart:
"It's swimsuit season!"
~
humid afternoon
the billboard painter
brushing on a smile
~
middle-aged man
staring into the ocean
shell at his ear . . . no, cell
~
bereavement lily
its orange fallout
blessing me
~
the doves' calls
(sounds I always thought were owls)
now in unison
~
Saturdays
at the auction barn
her only "night out"
