shade falls in slant chords
between the long summer leaves
memories of ice
Month: May 2022

still it doesn’t rain
the grass droops in a green-glazed
tunnel for the shrew
29 May 2022
small birds name themselves
in complex alleluias
shiftingly sacred
28 May 2022
skim the leaf-edges
reach deep into the comfrey
light, butterfly-tongued
27 May 2022
down by the river
rain-swollen beetle-busy
soft grass has returned
26 May 2022
sleek turkey oak leaves
the wind strokes your slub side out
rubbed against the grain
25 May 2022
green ponds of quiet
collecting in the deep lane
heavy with leaf-scent
24 May 2022
look me in the eye
squirrel on the bird feeder
know I don’t grudge you
23 May 2022
last drops of daylight
a half-open peony
lopsided with rain
22 May 2022
where do I belong
in the rush of springing life
never stop asking
