party

‪party of crows the sound of my arrival‬

‪

isolation

isolation

i open the door

to the wind

unearth

in a sunny spot

the squirrel unearths

my row of seedlings

pain

‪even moonlight‬

‪can’t mask the pain‬

‪devil’s walking stick‬

murmur

late night jazz

the deep blue murmur

of alone

thunder

thunderstorm all that lies between us

bubbles

pond bubbles the mystery of who knows

swells

river swells

the one that rises

above all others

    the sigh going

afternoon sun

my shadow reaches

a bottle of red

wind

brushing wind

from my hair

trail’s end

seagull

barge passing a seagull rides the wake

among

wind voices

a butterfly

smallest

hummingbird nest

the smallest thing

makes me smile

pockets

night walk if not for a few dreams empty pockets

basket

in my basket

a flurry of seed fluff

windy morning

regret

old seeds

a yellowed envelope

full of regret

frenzy

a frenzy of crushed eggshells turtle nest 

footprints

thirty fifth morning

again the moon has erased

yesterday’s footprints

clouds

death count 

a heron walks through clouds

easter eve

hands

river sounds

until my hands 

grow calm

treasures

treasures

heavy with emptiness

estate sale

run

last night’s rain

a stray cat runs

from an old pipe
