water colors
I paint the spaces
between waves

ruffling
my found feather
a breath

an old flame
the boat nudges
spent cattails

hot day
a crow makes
the hawk flap

rows of corn
the farmer’s
bad posture

surf’s edge
the shape of wind
in her hair

lilies in bloom
I launch the boat
in another place

lily pads
not touching
noon heat

big sky
a pronghorn
hops a fence

storm clouds —
the cow’s belly
rumbles
