settle

the taste of fog

a duck settles

on the river

disasters

between disasters

a vine covered cottage

old with trees

clinic

mayo clinic

a crow’s silent voice

beyond the window

medal

a high school medal

drapes the shoulder

roadside cross

embers

storm embers

the bitter scent

of afterwards

ripe

the pleasures of growing ripe banana bread

first

the first raccoon

shapes the tunnel

wild fern

prayer

evening prayer

to see day pass on

from my room

dust

sometimes

it’s the letting go

dust in the wind

bend

river bend

a line of ducklings

leaves my poem

twisted

this twisted trail

is also mine

night owl

busy

banana peels

evening sun busy

with fruit flies

bones

lightning strike

the thunder

in my bones

woodsmoke

woodsmoke

laughter floats

downriver

quiet

pine forest

august heat

is so quiet

road

mountain road the one that goes to the milky way

time

summer time

the length of

tree shadows

alarm

fire alarm

i grab

my heartbeat

cicadas

storm warning

the air heavy

with cicadas
