FLAMING JUNE 2020 #20

dappled sunlight
a flock of goldfinches
catching flying breadcrumbs

FLAMING JUNE 2020 #19

shifting flame
a flock of cardinals
in the blue sky

supernova
an apple split
onto the floor

evening glow
outside my window
a female cardinal

from a distance
that blue butterfly looks like
a blue flame

deep red rose
folded several times
closed for winter

a droplet
it still holds from my pricked finger
blood moon

a droplet
it still holds from my lower lip
blood moon

unfolding
with fire’s scent
deep red roses

red sun—
a cardinal in its nest
all alone

red sun—
watching the red fox
dig with its paws
