Playoffs

Heart rhythm intensifies
Red all around 
KKKs keep feet retreating
Will there be another chance to dance in the yard?

Knit Sweaters

colors woven in geometric patterns

patterns that move us

as chilly skies fill our days

Double Rainbow

Double rainbow arcs over our city by the bay
Fire orange magnificence 
meets me face to face

Soulful ending to a day dipped in simplicity

Topped Off Pints

Topped Off Pints
By Julie Gengo

topped off pints
strange artifacts stick out of walls
man in the corner paints postcards
eyes glance and turn away

Jack Rabbit

Jack-rabbit terrier 
dashes past 
stars on shirts
sonic booms spur excitement 

Our Moment

Out Moment
By Julie Gengo

Our moment
Hopefulness overrides uncertainty
Good company
while you drink your simple beer?
Is it the only way you half look into my eyes?
I stay in wonder
and listen to stories
That I half want to hear
I take your company too
It's my way of feeling good 
about our moment

Savor Spring

Savor Spring
into her last breath


Bursting out of seams


Color bleeds beyond solstice


Decides to linger for a while


Now trickles
slowly


While we dance within its hinges
