Stench

Stench of a trash can /

left open in the alley — /

Voodoo lily blooms.

Three leaves

Three leaves gather rain. /

Heavy with sky, touch the ground. /

Glistening repose.

Pleasant scent of grapes /

dangling wild or tame.

Saucers in the sun, /

dogwood bracts open to light, /

flutter in the breeze.

My hand reaches out /

casting a grasping shadow /

empty in the world.

Passing through

I turn my face up,

catching winter like a fool.

The rain passes through.

Veining across the wall /

shadows of a struggling plant, /

weaving toward Spring’s heart.
