The East Coast in August
  bullet   In the morning sweep   bullet   Two ants carry a   bullet   While I am running
  bullet   A yellow and black   bullet   On old east coast roads   bullet   As I near the bridge
  bullet   Under great sea rocks   bullet   The east coast wind blows   bullet   On my morning jog
  bullet   At the pavement edge   bullet   -------   bullet   -------

In the morning sweep
a wondering silverfish -
swept up with the dust.

Top


Two ants carry a
beetle to their port of call
in a perfect march.

Top


While I am running
a bug flew into my eye. 
Could it still be there?

Top


A yellow and black
butterfly lands on my path
with no fear of feet.

Top


On old east coast roads
grass pushes up through the cracks...
no need to repair.

Top


As I near the bridge
I hear the running water
When did the sound start?

Top


Under great sea rocks
green grass flourishes upward
from sea, salt and sand.

Top


The east coast wind blows
constantly from the ocean...
trees give in and bend.

Top


On my morning jog
stepped on a small green apple
I don't see the tree...

Top


At the pavement edge
precious purple flowers turn 
to plump rosehips - Why?
