Sky Observations 12.9.06

A new day
Sunlight looks orange
Against the brown leaves
Still dangling against tree branches
The air so still
It looks like a painting
And it shines a happy
Light against the winter day
Claire's trip home
To come and shine
More light across my
Winter days.

Sky Observations 9.25.06

October sky almost
Dark royal blue
And buttermilk
Puffs bunching and moving
A narrow slit
Allows today's sun
To put a irredescent
And silver jagged stretch
Across my eyes
The ladies sing me a song
Of trance
And mesmerize me.

Sky Observations 8.4.06

The day starts
Blue, but
Heat will push it
Away today
I saw a yellow finch
On the purple cornstalk
Flower just now
The mind keeps
Its games apace.

Sky Observations 8.3.06

Days edge forward
Without Chloe
Flat summer sky
Now brown with pollution
A warning smear
For today's breath
I can smile, but
It is hard to mean it.

Sky Observations 8.01.06

Red ball sun
In a flat pearl sky
Pushing in the
Expected oppresive heat
The sear
The change
The death of Chloe
They press against me
And make my soul weary.
