gathering clouds

a meadowhawk pauses

at the path’s edge

17 July 2025 (a thrush’s song)

a thrush’s song

deep in the woods —

storm clouds pass us by

26 June 2025 (mackerel skies)

mackerel skies

the bleached rib bones

of the last whale

17 June 2025 (cirrus clouds)

cirrus clouds . . .

the lawn mower scares up

a white plume moth

19 March 2025 (pink strata)

pink strata

of sunset clouds

astronauts return to earth

23 November 2024 (November rain)

November rain

the passing clouds

of our laughter

19 August 2024 (the widow says)

the widow says

August is a hard month

stacked clouds

14 October 2023 (rib bones)

rib bones of clouds . . .

the blur of a chipmunk

amid fallen leaves

12 October 2023 (election signs)

election signs

clutter the median . . .

shape-shifting clouds

9 October 2023 (massing)

massing

beyond the border

autumn rainclouds

1 August 2023 (clouds)

pregnant clouds . . .

I allow myself one more

piece of chocolate
