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

day

tidal chart

day comes and goes

with the birds

patches

old

mug

one

patch

too

many

tea

drops

island

rain scent

an island of clouds

floats downriver

gravity

hydrocephalus the gravity of water

trash

picking up trash

so much riverbank

for a snake

language

quiet sounds

darkness teaches me

the language

extreme

extreme heat

the balcony belongs

to the spider

passion

passion flowers

not just for you,

butterfly

until

a frog

on a lily pad

until the egret

river

walking with me

the dark river has

a soft blue voice

rising

clouds shine on a summer night death count rising
