Still in sweater, woven gown of spring, they lain on the sofa after; gentle of hands in hold to sides, caress of hands’ pass, slow and soft, along their lengths that brought them both to sighs; her cradle of legs and he between, still pressing at their warmth. Soft of smiles, lit of eyes, […]

SONG OF SONGS
“Behold my beloved speaketh to me: Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one and come. For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come…The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the vines in flower […]
SPRING TEMPER
They sat together in look to the west and sight of the evening sky, burn of its fire orange and yellows tempering into cimarron and rust as cool arrived on the settling air at end to day of abnormal heat each welcomed and loved in live of its March-spring gift. Like fire of […]
WINDOW OF TIME
Owen and I worked more on the basketball hoop yesterday. I started in when I got home from the farm, and it was a slow-go, even with directions. Directions called for plastic washers between each pivot and point of friction where bolts threaded to the frame. I searched every box I’d opened, and I […]
DAY BLUE
Birds sang their morning songs from boughs and beams of portico, sky still navy-night above dawn-ochre warming. From the strong, but brief, cold spell air sensed as spring again.

Her smile and eyes appeared unchanged, so too her style and wear of hair and mascara blushing of her lashes—curl of their length and dark of their paint making stronger and more striking the bright and color of her eyes. He felt, at sight, as he had when young and grown of age […]

MISSOURI WEATHER
It’s eighteen degrees right now. Tomorrow, it’ll be eighty. Missouri weather is a little like life: it doesn’t have to make sense, it is what it is, and you make the most with how it comes. Yesterday, I tried to do taxes. I had little success. My greatest efforts were in cleaning off […]
BEGINNING AND NOT END
“Are stories for you what they are to me?” he asked. “And what are they to you?” she questioned for reply. “…The conversations, with another, that you never had; lucid memories, known in heart, of moments you never dared or chanced to live?” He laughed and smiled meek after speak as […]
