waking scratchy-eyed,

ragged-haired from tossing through

unremembered dreams

long tail of a storm

ripping blossoms from the trees

a fruitless autumn

trees lend their blossom

to an uninvited guest

wedding confetti

that deep-throated kiss

blushing pink flowers aquiver

excited bees buzz

dreaming of writing

elusive stories etched on

the eyelids of sleep

birds are hunkered down

in a newly budded tree

a morning shower

every keystroke

marks a beat a measured stroke

a binding minute

an operative

under constant surveillance

a chained dog barking

that queezy feeling

sun flashing through trees at speed

a schedule too full
