in palm fronds
breeze sounds so warm
grey winter day

to evening star
a fiddle's voice

against my skin
the roughness of firewood
hoar frost

stone soup
the fragrance of
a snowy day

snail shell 
yesterday's rain
turning to ice

winter warmth
the garden within me
quickens

whiteness

swirling mist
a raven deepens
the whiteness

cabin walls

cabin walls 
feeling my way through
a wilderness night


sleepless

constellations
of quiet raindrops
sleepless night

fingers

winter branches
fingers of sound
play
down
my
spine

a vulture's lazy loop
cold grey sky

first light
a moment 's pause
in a dewdrop

a zipper's whisper
short of sunrise

empty pasture
the length of a fence
the breadth of a hawk

wander

among
trees
a
path
wanders
me
into
dawn

high tide
a sandcastle's last stand
and mine

darkness melts
spilling dawn upon
the new day

empty

empty places
the sound of wind
finding them

scattered clouds
a raven gathers
the blue between

deep forest
i almost hear the ferns
uncoiling

wander

fallen branches
a turtle wanders
somewhere else

waltz

white pelican
evening's slow waltz
across the water

before

first butterfly
my feet get there
before me

listening

listening for dawn
the way of a star
over the river


mind

morning mind
the sound of
a duck's wake

silence

twilight
a cricket's 
sudden silence
