morning haze -- a mosquito above the pond ice
tempslibres
a soda can shot full of holes -- spring sun
tempslibres
Easter morning -- I head out into trackless snow
tempslibres
first pussy willows -- the sound of a woodpecker shifts again
tempslibres
home sick -- just the sound of icicles dripping
tempslibres
spring frost -- a tower light pierces the sunset
tempslibres
spring in the air -- my walking stick pierces crusted snow
tempslibres
a fly beats against the window -- melting snow
tempslibres
subzero -- a moth flies towards the moonlit door
tempslibres
year's end -- a few tentative steps on the river ice
tempslibres
dawn -- the maple's colors spread through the fog
tempslibres
a new day -- the priest's robes fill with snow
tempslibres
overnight rain -- the scent of orange blossoms in a desert town
tempslibres
polished oak -- the freesia's shadow ends in coffee foam
tempslibres
scattered sun -- one chickadee louder than the rest
tempslibres
morning delivery -- snow comes in with the FedEx man
tempslibres
dog days -- the hill carried away a truck at a time
tempslibres
lingering day -- I study the moss in a park bench
tempslibres
sunset -- the day's heat still in the car
tempslibres
end of the drought -- a mushroom tilts under the spruce
tempslibres
slow boats -- the wind pushes a butterfly out to sea
tempslibres
cloud shadows -- and eagle picks over what the tide left
tempslibres
ebb tide -- a photo of a missing girl flutters in the breeze
tempslibres
first raindrops -- frog bones in the middle of the path
tempslibres
untrodden snow -- my breath clouds the way into the trees
tempslibres
crescent moon -- I follow the trail of a dragged Christmas tree
tempslibres
end of the year -- tracks along the edge of thin ice
tempslibres
full moon -- last week's snow slips from a wire
tempslibres
steady drizzle -- a snore from the man on the next yoga mat
tempslibres
moonless night -- a bath oil bead melting in the rain
tempslibres
winter doldrums -- the rain drips from plastic candy canes
tempslibres
night of meteors -- the first Christmas lights go up on the block
tempslibres
approaching winter -- I leave the seashell at the bottom of my purse
tempslibres
the empty bench -- spilled coffee turned to ice
tempslibres
working Saturday -- the small shadows of pigeons in the fog
tempslibres
the puddled field -- blades of grass pierce a cloud
tempslibres
morning haze -- ice drifts around the river stones
tempslibres
berry stains along the sidewalk -- hint of frost
tempslibres
a bright morning -- the mud pulls away from a frosty stone
tempslibres
walking meditation -- I pass through a cloud of breath
tempslibres
new coolness -- a train's light moves along the mountainside
tempslibres
wispy clouds -- the last blossom hangs on the fireweed
tempslibres
new coolness -- a pool at the center of the lupine leaves
tempslibres
sirens -- the wind pushes a butterfly to the ground
tempslibres
noon glare -- the wind blows sand out to sea
tempslibres
dog days -- driving to the lake to watch the icebergs drift
tempslibres
after the rain -- a frog-shaped shadow wavers in the puddle
tempslibres
hugs -- the spider on my old friend's arm
tempslibres
spray painted log -- I try not to sit on the word f***
tempslibres
a few yellow leaves -- the construction site grows towards my favorite tree
tempslibres
week of rain -- the insect's trail on the flattened leaf
tempslibres
a winged ant crawls on hot asphalt -- end of summer
tempslibres
discount store -- the unfinished tatoo on the cashier's arm
tempslibres
summer dust -- a caterpillar under the whale bone arch
tempslibres
a white night -- salmon bones curled against a log
tempslibres
scent of new leaves -- a caterpillar swings in a shaft of light
tempslibres
half-frog pose I lie and listen to the rain
tempslibres
spring currents -- the first gulls picking bones
tempslibres
a hawk searches the dry grass -- sundogs
tempslibres
the courtship songs of so many birds -- wind through my shirt
tempslibres
scent of rain -- a whale-shaped cloud hangs over the bay
tempslibres
a cold morning -- goose honks echo off the pavement
tempslibres
steamed milk -- snowmelt running from the coffee shop roof
tempslibres
between the yoga and chi gung classes -- scent of burning sage
tempslibres
dawn storm -- a bit of mountain ash stirred into the snow
tempslibres
horizonless -- sky-colored ice turns in the bay
tempslibres
sharp air -- the patch of blue changes shape
tempslibres
daylight moon -- the shadows of bubbles under the ice
tempslibres
fog patches -- a second little face in the sonogram
tempslibres
spin cycle -- snow flakes swirl outside the laundromat
tempslibres
lifting fog -- a few white feathers in the raven's breast
tempslibres
subzero -- the icicles filled with moonlight
tempslibres
long cold snap -- the icicle begins to fork
tempslibres
low clouds -- a gull circles above the police car light
tempslibres
snowy banks -- the drifting duck leans into a curve
tempslibres
a long split in the black inky cap -- snow clouds
tempslibres
dusk-- a yellow leaf passes through the beaver dam
tempslibres
season's end -- the scent of fish drifts downstream
tempslibres
new coolness -- a cloud passes through the mountain notch
tempslibres
soft rain fishing line parts a cloud of gnats
tempslibres
evening light following the anchor line into the sea
tempslibres
how quickly the nights grow longer -- fireweed in bloom
tempslibres
summer salad -- a nasturtium burns the tip of my tongue
tempslibres
a spider web caught in my hand; scent of rain
tempslibres
a damp evening -- each of us with our own cloud of gnats
tempslibres
the evening train almost empty -- sundogs
tempslibres
week of rain -- the henna tatoo fading fast
tempslibres
low tide -- a shorebird's call rises from the mud
tempslibres
Sunday drive -- all the rain clouds toward home
tempslibres
wildfire haze between the icebergs -- the blue wind
tempslibres
dandelions -- I lose sight of the yellow butterfly
tempslibres
someone whistling Blue Moon at the falls -- the mist
tempslibres
lenghtening days -- a bird's shadow crosses the yellow wall
tempslibres
new moon -- lamplight fills the holes in a shot-out sign
tempslibres
moss growing on the manhole cover -- winter rain
tempslibres
news of his death -- I can't stop looking at the sickle moon
tempslibres
daybreak - ice between the river stones
tempslibres
locking it - moonlight at the back of the mailbox
tempslibres
silence - the evening snow falls onto moss
tempslibres
distant thunder- a caterpillar drops from a ragged leaf
