dusk horizon sets
orange sun falling asleep
dreaming Autumn dreams

heave away evening
cast to places overseas
ground yourself ashore

when i paint my world
i see its every colour
i see everything

aroma of bread
grease-stained oven mitts still warm
brand-new tablecloth

the air is as fresh
as the juice of an apple
orchard in season

i held a flower
it was a dandelion
and it was summer

watch a drop of rain
every drop of rain…watch
remember their splash

leaving home at morn
sun stretching from the south side
cold pavement warming

that one time of day
when the sun shines that way
wishing it would stay
