Wish i could msg

I'm bored at work     and want to call,
just to say hi     and hear you is all.
Or maybe I'll message;     not much is new,
just something to suffix     less-than-three U.

I Want to Tell You

How our son, as usual skeptical, is loving bike-riding camp;
I saw him gleeful, rumbling over a makeshift wooden ramp!

Blackberry Offering

Blackberries are back     in their brambles along
CalTrain's chain-link     fence by the tracks.
Hardly a handful yet--    the handlebar-basket-
fulls of summer and fall     are still in flower.
We used to always     bring you a sample.
I'll just keep one     plump juicy berry
for the bird-feeder     basket by our house.

Hummingbird

Hon, did you send     that hummingbird?

Zip!

Baby birds     on twigs a-twitter,
bumble-bees     in blossom-cups
gathering honey's     gritty ingredients:
tokens of spring-tide.     And stretched-out cats!
But one that warms     my heart after winter
in particular,     well I'll tell you:
little lizards     lying so still
on sun-warm rocks,     'til they see you--zip!
