Cattails, May 2016

muddy jeans
the pasture speckled
with crocuses


duskfall
we trail our fingers
through stars


visiting rights
some silences are louder
than others


on fence posts
the exclamation marks
of raptors


a cold case
our hope lingers
ten winters


gull wings
fold the horizon
into sails
will you still meet me
on the farthest shore
