independence day

a child squats to pee

in the beach sand

31 May 2026 (redstart's song)

redstart’s song

from a beachside spruce

the perfect heart rock

14 March 2026 (March gusts)

March gusts —

sand sifts through

a broken snail shell

31 January 2026 (a flock of horned larks)

a flock of horned larks

scattered among beach rocks

drifting snow

17 October 2024 (sea-tumbled stones)

sea-tumbled stones . . .

plovers preening

along the high-tide line

3 November 2023 (pebble beach)

pebble beach . . .

casting a heart

back into the waves

13 February 2023 (wave-worn)

wave-worn granite

snow lingers along

the wrack line

12 February 2023 (storm-heaped)

storm-heaped seaweed

my shadow lurches

up the beach

28 September 2022 (smoothest)

the smoothest beach stone

seals waiting offshore

for low tide

15 August 2022 (puppy)

low tide . . .

the puppy’s nose

speckled with sand

24 July 2022 (ocean)

ocean swim

the gentle touch

of seaweed
