falling snow the bluebird makes a spot for itself

sunset not much time to find the end of the trail

leaf litter I spy a striped chipmunk

fox kits the smallest one hiding behind its siblings

hummingbird the red rubies of tail feathers

glade coneflower the petals purple the air

busy june a swallowtail convention on a sandbar

redistributing the wealth a sweat bee spotted yellow with pollen

a waxwing crown almost invisible in the cedars

heavy rains the voice of water tumbling over rocky crags

waning summer a skink sliding over splintered logs with ease

midwestern fall hard to enjoy the scarlet leaves here

                         with a landfall hurricane in the south

cool september the smartweed caterpillar wearing its coat of many colors

3 deer each 1 looking at november from a different direction

tall grasses the brief splash of gold on a sunless day

Warm November


trumpeter swans close enough to hear their wingbeats

your lies eating up my phone minutes

pink clouds drift into the unspokenness

winter doldrums two pregnant women compare bellies

heron pond the sandhill cranes elude us

warm november in the wrong hemisphere

the plane takes off full of baggage and empty promises

new path I carry your leaves with me
