New Year’s Day
a roseate spoonbill
lifts into dawn
Month: January 2024
creeping fog
the distant thrum
of a harbor tug
drifting snow
dropping a stitch
in the shadows
nuthatches
inching closer
thick snow
tired
of being tired
winter crows
patina
on dancing Shiva
the guardian
of a ruined temple
another
birdsong
summer
afternoon
adagio
berries so ripe
they fall to my hand
summer love
he whispers into my deaf ear
i read his eyes
midnight rain gathering the jigsaw’s misfits
storm recovery
still no power
in the darkest neighborhoods
white moon at dawn the substation’s hum
a pinwheel
barely turning
midsummer sun
thunder moon
air holes in the lid of
a jar of lightning
summer lightning the wait of my thoughts
bridal mannequin
the price tag
around its neck
the things
she never celebrated
Mother’s Day
birthday cake
this reluctance to cut
through happy
retirement day
re-homing
my desk plant
understanding night
almost the last
firefly
a cattle egret
plucks a gecko from the grass
vacation’s end
holiday park
in every cottage
a different summer
the blue hour
you slipped away
without a sound
(haiga)
