White-wet Clouds

White wet clouds surround
Off balance, reach without touch
Earth and sky obscure.

Lying on my Face

Lying on my face
In a soft warm bed eyes closed
Dreams out of reach.

For Updike

Rabbit runs across

The garden seeking fresh greens

As Autumn recedes.

Sun Splashed

Sun-splashed landscape

Just beyond the cloud cover

Always out of reach.

Clear Skies

Clear skies, traces of smoke

Drift across a blackened

Prairie - embers fade.

Cloud

Cloud filled skies close

Above a dank grey clearing

Empty, windy cold.

Geese

Geese rest secreted

In chopped corn field, heads

Peek over the stalks.
