wine

thinking of wine
i almost miss dusk
turning moon soft

cold

wind painted morning
fingers of cold turn me
this way and that

moon

washing dishes
with moon in my eyes
thanksgiving eve

thanksgiving day

cut short
by an osprey's dive
the day of a fish 


hawk

leaving no mark
a hawk's cry cuts
right through me

heron

a great heron lifts
spreading its complaint
across the marsh

i

turning about
neither here nor there
honeysuckle and i

sunny side

morning blossom
how you always find
the sunny side

voice

i hear your voice
but forget your name
faraway river

frost

opening the door
silence walks with me
into frost

song

two bullfrogs
ripples of song disappear
in the reeds

lashed

autumn drought
a frenzy of cornstalks
wind lashed

kingdom

evening comes
waves of mountains roll
beyond my window


Monday, November 17, 2014

clinging

a day
when everything clings
cold wet moss


Sunday, November 16, 2014

kiss

as if lovers the raven and the moon rising

karma

marsh light
not seeing the frog
until the fly

lonely

far from home
an owl's call sounds
so lonely

Thursday, November 13, 2014

reflections

golden reflections
my shadow takes me
the long way home

old friends

old friends . . 
the kindly eyes
of twilight

life

as if a life
wasn't enough to give
wounded eagle


Monday, November 10, 2014

alone

a night alone
my heart a cage
full of winged things 


Sunday, November 9, 2014

dusk

breaking bread
we listen to dusk fall
the old koi and I


Saturday, November 8, 2014

voice

I knew you
by the colour of your voice
redbird


Friday, November 7, 2014

instead

writing a poem
the eagle, instead
in a pine tree


Thursday, November 6, 2014

keyhole

needing no keyhole
the graveyard gate
bleeding rust


Wednesday, November 5, 2014

again

a startle of doves
the coyote, again
becomes a shadow


Tuesday, November 4, 2014

tangled

night tangled in the eye of an owl ice moon rising


Monday, November 3, 2014

stolen

quiet moments
a few blackbirds steal
a few of my only


Sunday, November 2, 2014

cross

southern cross
the barest breeze plays
in the halyard 


Saturday, November 1, 2014

earth

kneeling
wet earth in each breath
fall flowers
