it happens every year
but still
the woods filled with birdsong

long summer
the smell of rain
new again
summer’s end—
I let the thimbleberry
rest on my tongue
my favorite color

cherry blossoms
sunny day —
telling time by my cat’s
choice of window
a fawn at the heels
of a lame doe
sun mixes with rain
rehashing
an old argument
frost heaves
