beneath the bridge
goldfish pause
in reflection
Month: June 2023
winter storm—
icing drizzled on
cinnamon buns
winter sky
another friend
to be missed
three-day blizzard
my thoughts
pile up
snow on snow
all the things this pill
cannot fix
winter morning
a support group
of apple trees
weak winter sun
how fragile
our resolve
a little closer
to my old self
fresh snow
finding another way new snow along the forked branches of the pine
click of the wind silvered with frost feather grass
father’s old coat a life held in the creases
single father
my daughter cooks me
a make-believe dinner
graduation day
the upward tumble
of starlings
the choices we make distant thunder
hearing the phoebe–
now I can plan
all my day
another day
with nothing to do
moss-covered millstone
mill pond
a mallard ripples
the su nl ig ht
between duckweed
open water turns into
a ribbon of gold
backwater cove …
an old man fishes out
a bit of sunset

tidepool minnows the splosh of a spoonbill
clouds shift
beneath a child’s steps …
summer sea
