April Fool’s Day
the cuckoo
switches eggs
Month: April 2020
tulip magnolia–
the full-throated song
of a meadowlark
varied thrush
between notes
the unwavering light
almost spring
swinging my cane
to a new beat
eight minutes from the sun unfurling ferns
expanding universe
I teach my uncle
how to read
creases in a map
an old man at the trailhead
squints back sunlight
the one who went first
waiting for me
labyrinth’s center
without a way to find you mourning dove
self storage
the bits we keep
to ourselves
(haiga)
mesa clouds
we mind each step
among the pottery shards
the longest
I’ve ever lived in one place…
lichen on maples
spring migration
the return of
vinyl records
every plastic ever made in existence
downstream slightly faster than the debris
earth day
leaving the river alone
with its thoughts
climate strike
making her own sign
like a kid again
breaching the levee
river town
flooded with moonlight
where willows weave shadows the receding river
climate change
the slippery slope
of a glacier
steel band
the oil drums
that drive us
city park
the accordionist pleats
the breeze
