a slow afternoon–
time alone with a hard rain
beating the grasses
damp infested wood–
growing in the garden shed
two types of mushrooms
Japanese garden
from one path to another–
nothing on my mind
grapes ready to pick–
cobwebs connecting bottles
in Grandpa' s cellar
dinner al fresco–
candles sputtering the scent
of citronella
footprints on the floor–
beginning the mud season
with a new rag mop
