in the middle 
of the moon

dusk
the lily folds
into itself

empty church-
after the funeral
the scent of lilies

a red dragonfly lands
in the white lily

without a sound
a water-lily opened
on the old pond

moving day
the lily on her grave
finally blooms

night's end
the first day lily
in bloom

fills the lily's
throat

on the deli clerk's blouse--

trailing back and forth
across the lilies -
a black bird's shadow

how quiet
the north side of our house
lilies of the valley

nodding to each other  -

and a hummingbird
suspended

bouquet of lilies--
from the perfectly arranged garden
clutched in a small fist

under a summer moon,
lily buds lighten
the doorstep

yellow lilies
the sound from a trumpet
across the street

late for church -
the scent of Easter lilies
fills the pews

beneath the lily pad
the moonlight catches
a flash of gold

a drained pond...
ducklings hide
in the lilies

tiger lilies
grew around our old back porch
homesick

high humidity--
my father holds a lily
in his withered hand

calla lily ... 
a droplet of rain slides 
down its funnel

the canal
packed full of water lilies
a beer can weaves

as I enter the room
a gentle breeze

the cat stalks a robin
in the backyard

the swan glides past
to reach its nest

of her passing -

giving the trumpet lilies
a leaf trim
