yesterday, storms raced by on their wild, gray steeds

gnashing their teeth and stirring the air with rain spears

following traffic rules of her own

no one will know we're here.
if we're very, very quiet.

their season

is over
but what stories linger on their stitched lips.

than to cherish the simple miracle of
plaster dancing with glass baubles
and glass baubles dancing with light

she mesmerizes

she tank-ilizes
she struts high-rises
she's twin surprises
is it possible there's someone who doesn't know where i've been?

how cherished was young winnifred

who died in 1884
at the age of 17.

turned from terrible weapons of flood
to tossed and polished art

sometimes a reflection cannot be denied.

raindrops

on an old-fashioned white rose in mr. brattcat's garden

come linger a moment beside me.

tilt your head back,
close your eyes.
together we'll eavesdrop on the conversations of crickets.

and sing a sweet september song

boston twinkles

at night.
even the traffic dazzles small-town eyes.

how weary the mill workers

at the end of their shifts.
how eager to cross the canal and go home.

thank you

to all the men and women
who voluntarily step into the frame
when hard work must be done.

fresh picked peaches

ripe to perfection.
what would you do with them?

the view

through yesterday's mill window

what do you see

through the window of this abandoned mill?

at the green mountain orchard in putney

despite the lateness of the season,
blueberries still offer their purple globes of sweetness
to the intrepid picker

even with so much flattened by water

the grass
and the clouds
and our spirits
rise
