3 AM. Sirens
Break into my sleep...accident?
Fire? I'll never know.

After the rain ends,
The bullfrog resumes his song.
I am not amused.

After the sun sets,
Clouds cover the moon and stars,
Strong winds bend the trees,

When I close my eyes,
Sometimes the world seems to spin.
Something I don’t need.

A “flock of fireflies”
Is doubtless not a real thing…
But just look outside.

Four for the Solstice: 20 June 2016
I. 7:00 PM
The clouds, drifting in
From the West, dark as midnight--
Summer storm warning.
II. 8:30 PM
The sky is clear now,
After the rain and thunder
And my tears have gone.
III. 9:00 PM
The summer solstice…
The sun not yet set, the clouds
Still bathed in light.
IV. 9:30 PM
The fireflies come out
Just after the sun has set,
Mimicking lightning.

The sky a pale blue,
The roads shimmer in the heat.
The dragonflies doze.

Drifting in the air
Flashing in the fading light
Pinpoints of lightning.

3 for 16 June 2016
Three for 16 June
After the storms pass,
The moon seems to fill the sky
With a cold white light.
Thunder, lightning, rain--
But the bullfrog was silent.
I prefer the storm.
Watching the moon and
Listening to the bullfrog.
I should be sleeping.

A storm passing through...
Large trees bending with the wind,
Sky dark as midnight.

11 June 2016
Both the weather and
Our emotions are heated.
And we’re exhausted.

Looking out the door:
A bunny on the sidewalk,
With its nose twitching.

7 June 2016
A strange memory...
Walking alone, late one night,
Heedless of the rain.

6 June 2016
Knees ache when I stand.
Shoulders ache when I reach out.
Still glad I'm alive.

Watching Ali dance,
Always moving, on his toes--
Then, the sudden sting.

A chipmunk sunning
Itself, Our dog is watching
With great interest.

Afternoon rain, and
The dog huddles at my feet,
Thinking she'll be safe.

At 3 AM, I'm
Still awake, listening to
Blaring horns, sirens...

Rain is pouring down.
But even that can't drown out
The croaking bullfrog.
