a morning haze

COM
a morning haze dyes
the surrounding lawn, white-
i'll grow in its silence
as the fog dehydrates
from a rising sun.
i'll see well tanned teasel shelving
its sleepy head along a barbed wire fence.
i'll hear chunter
between a robin and her three young
who are nestled
safely in a gutter's nest...
verdant grass will give way
to a blue horizon.

8:24 pm.
Kentucky's articulate sky
shares a profusion of
blue- grays and pink,
a coif for a copse of trees.
i download no stranger shade
of humming and voyage at art
with their deaths forever left away
their dead never crowd my moon
of meaningful mood and shroud.

fish, barging water

COM
an Ohio fish swims upstream with
its brown fins cooled against water,
his eyes bulged from the red sun.
along scaled paths, I sit,
waiting for waves to
tickle my feet.
fish-flops
river…
splash.

fish, barging water was written for a Poetry Postcard project in August.
