too many to count

in the garden’s dark corner —

gathered fireflies

using evening rain

to scrub behind her ears —

front yard bunny

a cloudless sky
and the sound of rumbling —

fear’s long shadow

early autumn —

the moon comes back

for another look

late summer moonlight —

I can see all the way back

to our first kiss

so much happier
after last night’s watering —

rudbeckia in sun

lighter now

after a summer’s worth of sun —

our favorite fox
