early evening
desert cool breeze
dogs lazily barking
down the street
a man on horseback

i grilled him some chops
made salsa, red beans and rice
he whispered 'love you'

out in the front yard
black cat languidly gazing
little birds chirping

secreted somewhere
trembling drops and petrichor

enchanted garden

my birthday party
candy, silk, books and perfume
...they gave me orchids
unexpected surprises
drizzled with forever love

small plastic spider
forgotten halloween prop
tangled in cow webs
