A fence that keeps
Nothing in, nothing out
A long marriage
 
Summer fires
Redden the crescent moon
The dog sleeps undisturbed
 
Tucking in the kids
How lucky they are
To fall asleep first
 
Swirling over the crosswalk
Plum  blossoms
Ignore the traffic lights
 
Abalone shells
Shattered on the beach path
Ohlone repast
 
After the clouds pass
Spring shower continues
Rain from the ash tree
 
Ocean gale
Seagulls
Pinned against the sky
 
Drove all day
Can’t sit
Can’t stand still
 
Under my bare feet
Popping sounds
Seaweed pods
 
Waves crash
Children scream
Repeat
 
Disappearing
Reappearing
Seagulls in fog
 
Ladybug on my shoulder
Flies off
Didn’t like my stare
 
Harassing a hawk
The crow’s cawcawphony
 
W
W
Pelicans head out to sea
 
Choosing a Christmas tree
A V of geese overhead
Honk their approval
 
Indulging in summer apricots
What do you mean
We’re out of toilet paper?
 
Passing through the pines
The fog whispers
News from the sea
 
Sun in the fog
A jewel
That can't be stared at
