Host of Sparrows flying in formation.
Two golden Eagles slowly surf the solar therms high above, looping leisurely maybe looking for lunch.
Giant palm leaves, like shark fins or whale tails, bob slightly.
Large peace lilies in white bloom.
The sound of water tinkling.
Bodrum flowers, in pink, in purple, in peach clusters.
Giant orange Hibiscus flowers.
Humid, sweet, tropical air wraps me in quietude.
The
setting sun illumes the western side of an ancient Maple, the wide
reach & spread of his thick branches making a tent, a shelter
over me.
Propellers fall as I sit with my back pressed against the gnarly trunk, fore-shadowing, for sure.
Quartz crystal glows in the sun sitting on the palm of my hand.
A propeller now falls on my head.
Warm, soft 6pm wind informs the leaves of the old maple, a concert of some sort.
A crab apple tree heavy with clusters of bright red crab-apples the size of cherries.
Two striped raccoons scoot by in single file & off into their night jobs.
