15 July 2026 (penetrating)

penetrating

the wildfire haze

a cicada’s drone

30 June 2026 (unseasonable heat)

unseasonable heat . . .

one crow picks up

what another drops

24 June 2026 (shining dew)

shining dew . . .

a crow plucks at

the unripe crabapples

20 May 2026 (constellations of violets)

constellations of violets . . .

the stories we tell

from our childhoods

27 April 2026 (spring sun)

spring sun —

on the back porch savoring

a peanut butter cup

26 April 2026 (emerging birch catkins)

emerging birch catkins . . .

a fat-cheeked chipmunk

dashes under the shed

14 April 2026 (golden hour)

golden hour

arranging bits of cheese

to entice a crow

11 April 2026 (burying)

burying the goldfinch . . .

leafless branches clack

with each gust

3 April 2026 (spring rain)

spring rain

a crow knocks on the roof

to get my attention

2 April 2026 (paschal moon)

paschal moon —

something stirring

within the tulip bulbs

23 March 2026 (on the dead tree)

clinging to the dead tree

we left up for woodpeckers

spring snow
