calico curtains
flutter in the kitchen
a scent of lilacs
...
apple blossoms
floating to the ground
a house wren's trill
...

through the open window

hovering in the grass
first drop of rain
...
eccentric neighbors
dancing in the wind
a lawn of daisies
...
faded lilacs
a black-capped chickadee
sings from branch to branch
can smell and hear and see
can smell and hear and see these. nice.
