Dying winter sun
Bleeds on pallid frozen earth
Crimson filigree

…..

(#14)

Empty robin’s nest
Jagged pieces of spring sky
Litter ground below

…..

(#15)

In the sage shadows
Horned toads skitter hastily
Tiny dragon kin

…..

(#16)

Thermal-soaring hawks
To them I’m an afterthought
To me they are gods

…..

(#17)

Solemn dusk echoes
Wapiti cries copse to copse
Across wheat fields

…..

(#18)

In pond water dogs
Oblivious to all else
Glide in somber dreams
