nesting

i place an order

for nesting material

new year’s eve

time

           i watch time

     passing through trees

morning light

patience

spiderweb . . 

the art of patience

i’ve learned

star

over the river

and through the pines

the christmas star

tremble

frozen evening

the air trembles

my bare hands

flight

river mist

one of my bird calls

takes flight

midnight

when sounds

are just acorns

midnight fog

pleasure

the pleasure  of a flower  pandemic

excitement

christmas sounds

a boat parade excites

the river

pinnacle

pinnacle a turtle reaches what warmth remains
