the way back
from the woods
with a peace of mind
one bird
in the dark before dawn
starts
hawk
circling
the moon
– Fall 2014 premiere issue
another sunset…
all the places I left
myself
off the trail
on the trail
grasshopper
in between
the woodpecker’s tat tats…
silence
-Spring 2015
winged seeds
this desire
to take off
walking uphill
to keep the sunset
a bit longer
turtle dream
the winter over
so soon
Spring 2016
puckerbrush
how desirable I am
to a mosquito
holding up
itself
a stone wall
butterfly in the field
within its world
within this world
the old barn
what’s left
letting the wind through
Fall 2016
eyes closed
I could be
anywhere
promised land-
a grasshopper
leap after leap
Winter 2018
thaw
a snow bank holding out
in the burdocks
so over it dust
falling leaves
on the path …
no place for my thoughts
Fall 2018
