quiet pond
the dash-dot message
of waterlilies

summer dew
the spider’s focus
on home
(haiga)
polar vortex
an anchor of ice
steadies the lake
redwoods strengthening my password to blue sky
roadside assistance
Queen Anne’s lace brightening
my mood
autumn the panic room inside the oak
sultry night
slack spun into the line
of spider’s silk
drought the struggle legible in leaves
visitor sign-in
the unrelenting cheerfulness
of daffodils
migrating red knots
the return
of my heart murmur
stone paths the making of a pilgrim
