off

off
looking for paradise --
cicada husk

evening heat

evening heat
tree frog chant
trickles down my neck

even from the radio

even from the radio
the loons' cries...

tick-tock-tick

tick-tock-tick
dragonfly in the sun
cocks her wings

Sunday morning

Sunday morning --
the skink's blue tail
never still

newly planted

newly planted
our banana tree
droops

after Communion

after Communion
he kneels, fumbles
to check his phone
