white oncidium 
the sun splitting
into her infinities 

graduation day 
sunlight lingering 
in dusk clouds 

a billion suns glistering 
in the parking lot 
nameless galaxies  

last sun 
the scent of oleander 
in luminous pools 

the wingspan of a white ibis sun 

sunburst 
through the stratocumulus 
Adam’s needle 

from the throat of the robin sun 

iron sun 
a vulture unmoving 
in the heat 

the sun disk behind shifting the stratocumulus clover meadow 

storm over 
shards of sun shatter 
from the sycamore  

the sun’s scarlet 
dips behind the distant hills 
first cigarette
