the wide blue sky
following behind
an orange tractor

purple almond tree —
today I’ll not forget
where I parked the car

all the answers
in the back of the book —
summer solstice

morning clouds
the swan waddles
over a shallow part

outdoor market
caged parakeets hang
with the chickens

girl in a meadow
the random flight
of a swallowtail

last day of school
lessons clapped
from the erasers

maple trees
on the verge of summer
wanderlust

my garden gloves
streaked with dirt —
meeting a monarch

hut in the woods . . .
small teeth marks
on the toilet soap
