Obituary of a fly

It puzzled sheriff fly
that the house fly
who could

buzz within earshot
escape human clap trap
create more ruckus than a rattling AC

was last found
pressed under an
asleep human

He thought
This can happen only once
and sent out an advisory
to all the flies
" Dont underestimate
stationary objects,
you never know
when they roll"

Mill Mill

Saw mill
Wind mill
flour mill

KinderCare

A mom
at a wooden gate
with a child by
her waist
and another
looking back
unwilling to enter

I wondered
why it seemed
like he wasnt
being attended to

A pop
bringing his
daughter out
of her seat

I should have known
they dont stay there
they go for care

A Magician's trick

Pulling the
purple back comforter
with a white front
out of the laundry
I was the magician
pulling a rabbit
out of the hat
only not effortlesly
and to a solo
audience reminding
him of all the
'tons of laundry'
that he had to
play the trick on.

Flying time

In yoga
how does time
pass so quickly?

Forsaking

To your love
try saying goodbye
thinking you own it
and find
you are enslaved.

Self fulfilling choice

When a choice
is to be made
between
yoga and elliptical

In the morning calm
yoga wins

Recipe for a good cook

A recipe
that turns out well
makes you feel
like a good cook
and cook more

Office Deco

On the ledge
in a restroom
blooms
a white flower
in frumps
on a toilet roll

Blending Naturally

In the forest
people
are always
cutting trees
to make a clearing

Imagine a garden there

Invasive

When seated
at eye level
still water at Lakeside
of Tempe Center of Arts
merges with the
man made Tempe Lake

with occasional
joggers, walkers
bobbing out

Wild rose hips

When
Red
Blue
Green
are the only colors

When
all the world
is just one
sky
and or beach
and or palms

Minimal
yet Holistic

The Dove in the Eagle's nest - charlotte Mary Yonge

Overcoming

A square
chocolate chip
cookie
with ridges

The beginning
of uncraving
is with
forgetting the
tastes already known.

On the mind of a lost hiker

When theres an
unplanned forest
in a desert
to cross back
and a way to find
ahead
whats a snake
curled in your way?

In the pyramid
of fear
they rank
below
the prospect
of getting lost.

Fleur Chasers

Some butterflies
land innocently
on
skirts
green with specks
of white
