another day
a few birds fly
across the sunset

slipping behind Borestone Mountain end of the day...

you, ready as me
there on the other coast
imagine, to hop a freight
and leave behind all
that didn’t seem quite right
a string of covered hoppers in the winter sun

a string
of covered hoppers
in the winter sun

much of my life spent
wanting others to like
what I like-
in my jacket pocket the stone
is worked with worries
beneath the wheel flecks of new rust on the rail...

beneath the wheel
flecks of new rust
on the rail…

geese, nature, photography, poetry, spring

snow patches
throughout the woods
pine scent

 

on the path the geese part to let me pass

on the path
the geese part
to let me pass

 

eye to eye the exchange of a moment

eye to eye
the exchange
of a moment

valley fog: out of it geese in formation

valley fog:
out of it

at the old parking lot
the sparrows bathe
in a big puddle
sometimes I’m so happy
just to be here as witness

breaking the reflection stillness  rain drops

breaking
the reflection stillness
rain drops
