relentless:

the fan's motor
a helicopter
a distant barking dog
this week's humidity

three sparrows

unexpectedly
descended,
picking at foliage,
then quickly returned

lethargy

storm clouds today
and warmer temps yet again
prevent productivity

cooler temps

evening has settled in--
television murmurs on
in the next room

crickets

so hot this evening
there's no moon
even crickets are trying to rest

fireflies

summer evening
twinkling in the tree
my cat imagines fireflies

summer

cherries and plums
a pile of them
in a summer basket
