24 August 2026 (a tuft of lichen)

a tuft of lichen

left by the crow . . .

morning dew

24 July 2025 (morning cool)

morning cool

my toes pluck a sprig

of white clover

4 September 2024 (the moss)

the moss cool

under my bare feet . . .

late-summer crickets

3 August 2024 (barefoot)

barefoot

through rain-soaked grass

island morning

5 August 2021 (rain)

summer rain

I towel dry

my bare feet

5 September 2020 (dew)

a new day

crossing the dewy lawn

barefoot

May 28: Pedicure

Three weeks till summer--
bare feet in wet grass,
freshly polished toe nails.
