vespers
the mantis begins
to sway
fledged robins
a discarded kettle
lined with mud
beaver dam
salmon seek refuge
from the drought

blistering sun
we wade through a river
of barley
root cellar
the darkness lit
by jelly jars
persimmons
golden crowns
fill with snow

a deep chasm
this yearning
for an echo
sea shanties
a sailor's beard dripping
with icicles
pressed flowers
the meadow I will give you
this winter

shepherd's crook
her flock shape-shifts
into clouds
berry-picking
even our shadows
turn blue
skating pond
the unopened lotus
beneath us

farmstead
a cobweb where
my window was
traffic jam
a different song
in each lane
swallowtails
the pause between folding
and unfolding

sepia postcards
from around the world
autumn leaves

a horse leads us
toward home
snow mounds
the growing roundness
of her belly

on yellowed recipes
she is here, still
ginko walk
how extraordinary
this ordinary life
the hum of bees
I know every word
by heart

a curl of eyelash
on your pillow
crescent moon
moonlit lake
I brush the silver
from your hair
first chemo
a yellow leaf caught
in her hair
