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