as each was bequeathed

Laughing Wind
Left behind the leafy shade as
the wind's laughter
lifts milkweed seeds aloft.

no towncrier.
Her scent announces
her bursting pink fire.

Moored Boat
A chained cow
A moored boat
a rocking horse
are tethered away
from joy's source.

Peony pink... the
shade of the lace
cloth on which
nectar will be served
to the bees

August mercy rains
into puddle skeins
and then river veins
before reaching the main.

Blackgowned,
judges with cold
premeditated murder
wield their killer pens
and gavels.

Does it refer to their
spring birth
or the time of slaughter
when their souls leave earth

Projecting Onto The Sea
One thought the
sea was sibilant and hissed
The other that the
yearning sea the shore kissed.

Within pink marble walls...
beneath the stars
