first frost on black roofs
open to the sky all night
sending back starlight
Month: September 2022
29 September 2022
the shifting birch leaves
dark against the evening blue
a slow tide swelling
28 September 2022
where nobody treads
the grass fine-grained as satin
under the pylon
27 September 2022
just a ghost of blue
skimming the kingfisher pond
the troutbellied sky
26 September 2022
ordinary light
under dahlia petals
it’s already dusk
25 September 2022
cannonade of wind
sunswirling shock of feathers
mouse senses the hawk
24 September 2022
thistledown in rags
the last whisk of the summer’s
vanishing coat-tails
23 September 2022
dusk at supper time
we pick mint for the salad
by scent and by touch
22 September 2022
a crow’s flight grazing
the round shoulder of this field
early evening moon
21 September 2022
the minnow-flickered
pewter surface of the sky
rolled out riverlong
