SUMMER SOLSTICE

pathway in a faded reed

handprint on the wall

symmetry among ginkgos

illusion and a bird's wings

across my heart


A FRACTION

from the edge
forests & mountains

complex. visible
the artist's hand


HOW DOES ONE INTERPRET SIGNS FROM THE UNIVERSE?

---the shadow of a bird's wings overhead

---a small piece of driftwood found on a cement step

---the poem "A Ritual to Read to Each Other"

---a long spear of golden grass

---the door with the hidden window--a mirror reflecting mountain & sky

---a random leaf

---a fragment of white ribbon carried in wind


is there an equation for infinity?


CHAOS IN BLUE
                         "the poet must die every day he lives" --Yeats


blue was the color of miro's dreams


last night the mountain & the star


today alone/abstract woman/bird



through
the door
a room


poetry & clouds
philosophy & stars
a ceiling of trees


pasts unknown
one move
after another


we speak of beauty
an oak branch
the sky
