on a high note
the trill of an unnamed bird
like a tiny ball in a whistle ~
the referee calls out plays
to the frog team
~~
mock orange
and the sweetness of alyssum ~
spring aromas arrive
on the wings of birdsong
in a meditative moment
~~
dog in the wind
cheeks blown back in a grin
she smells the ocean
in this land of mountain desert
inspired, we turn the car to the coast
