The Mountains at Dusk

The mountains at dusk
turning blue-black
against white sky
get a sharp edge.

Trees on the top 
tiny from here
stand out, you can see
every fine branch
with its curl of leaves.

Sitting in the Sun

Sitting in the sun
on this tiny landing
I listen to my wind chimes
moving idly in the Spring breeze,
their mellow sound
punctuating the chirrups and shrieks
of busy nesting birds.

My cat, lying on the step
by my feet,
ignores all these noises —
just likes to be
in the sun, with me.
