clear water rises
on the other side of shadow
the reflection CB
cows idle home for milking
under herringbone clouds HT
about to burst
with bells and whistles
plum blossoms JB
the wind slowly strips
paint from the fence CB
on her phone
the tweenie moons over
a boy band HT
beyond a reasonable doubt
his paramour's ring tone JB
articles of a faith
overrun with brambles
chapel swallows CB
flies swarm across my timeline
in the heat of the moment HT
on the gridiron
a streaker
trips and falls JB
honkytonk sunset
the drifter sips his rye CB
russet tones
gather at the edges
of ripeness HT
hooked on opioids
fish pond moon JB
the tide's withdrawal
reveals
a lifeless reef CB
a dot hangs about
without an i HT
watch your Ps and Qs
on that first date
#metoo JB
a single drop of blood
adorns the cactus spine CB
beauty sleeps
deep under the mud
ashen rose HT
departing geese
muddy streaks across the sky JB
a trail of ants
Coltrane's solo flies
off the page CB
apple blossoms fall upon
a serpentine advent HT
