Texas Sidewalks

Four-inch lizards
bask in a sun-induced trance
on Texas sidewalks

Small Stone #5: Wildfires / A Cinquain: Texas Burns

Wildfires

Wildfires scorch Texas.
Where next? No one dares ask.
Too busy, we shrug.

Texas Burns

Red Dots
On the fire map
Do not bode well for us.
Brush country creeks are cracked and dry.
Please pray.

Small Stone #2: Easter Afternoon

Texas brush country, hot Easter afternoon.
Clouds hint at a long-awaited cool front.
Shadows play tag on the shimmering lace curtains:
Spring revives.
