rapid months

rapid months 

the soft snorts that come

from a pig's nose

pressed against

my own

the shutter

of a camera

capturing

the scene before me--

if only it could

capture

the smell of the lilacs it views

the sun shines

a walk along the

creek; along 

the edge of

the reservoir

"leave the grill on for us"

light bursts into

the lens;

adjust your settings and try

again

cast your line

water rushes across

your toes

float.

a walk through 

the grass surrounded

by the snorts

of little pig snouts

water runs

a bush full of

flowers 

-along the creek

-in front of my

house

-reaching up by the

living room window

ducks and geese

chattering-- click of a camera

a walk along

the edge of

the river

sunshine

we pile into a vehicle

it's her birthday, 

let's float

time to eat

a twisting hill: nausea (I forgot again)

sheep bleat

laughter on the river 

fire crackles before

me, its warmth

encompasses me

a fuzzy blanket

yellow flowers

tiny fish tickle

my toes

squish the mud beneath them

sunlight

a floral breeze

leaves dripping from our little forest

sit and

watch life go by
