IN SUMMER BLUE

               Returned from water and rush of the ride, they settled back to home.  Anna’s shoulders showed of day’s sun-change, red-pink that lightened under pressure of touch, sensitive but not in pain; lines of bikini’s cover showing pale and thin over shoulder tops and covering spread of front as she rested with straps drawn low […]

SHALLOWS

               Blue burned through the sky of gray erasing restless of malaise and deferring examen of the deeper questions with more than surface answers.                World warmed bright under sun, and they went out upon the water.  Fast of the boat, blow of the wind in whip and rustle through clothes and hair, sounds and […]

A BEAUTIFUL DAY

               From kitchen view, they looked on the lawn—small piece of cultured wild; rise of the bluestem in fine, tall stems, pale and near of blue from leaves dark in green; open of the wildflowers bowed in absorb of morning dew, petals and open faces bowed as if contemplative morning prayer, sight rising when sun […]
