closed windows can’t block
lawn chemicals’ acrid stench
fertilizer truck
closed windows can’t block
lawn chemicals’ acrid stench
fertilizer truck
sunbeams on my path
through cracks between the dark clouds
spotlighting the way
in the heat of day
mourning doves come to water
runoff by roadside
sudden downpour brings
colorful wet confetti
myrtle with less crepe
picked red off green plant
taste the warm afternoon sun
the ripeness of life
