fading light
rain overflows
the gutter
a waitress
refills the sugar
the long day
cutting biscuits
spring sun
through the blinds
spring cleaning
leaving the rosin
on papa’s fiddle
first tree buds
the list of baby names
not chosen
midwinter
the bird’s injured
left wing
saying good-bye
my hand warms
the iron gate
summer’s end
at the high-water mark
pilot whales
