Jane in the Garden

She sits
in between the garden rows
blowing dandelion seeds
toward the cucumbers I just
replanted

She scrubs
black soil into fingers, feet
wiping more dirt
across her smiling mud masked
face

She steals
my heart at sunset
chasing fireflies in freshly mowed grass
laughing like wind in maple
leaves

Dandelion Haiku

Thousand yellow suns
Popping out of bright green grass
Quickly turn to moon

confusing amusing

amusing choice
your sad voice still lingers
as your plane begins to fly
you said, you loved me
 but I, just don't feel the same
 you knew my heart, still broken
 though you smile at me that way

allow me to heal awhile
don't turn away, afraid
 San Francisco lent me his heart
 the radio, never did play my favorite song
 and now you're gone

 life is a dance, or so I'm told
But I have two left feet
