dawn flurries —

smoke already rising

from the ice-fishing shack

26 January 2025 (winter dawn)

winter dawn

an owl’s darkness

passes over our heads

31 October 2024 (Halloween dawn)

Halloween dawn

stirring the embers

of maple leaves

27 September 2024 (dawn apples)

dawn apples

the rosy glow

of cricketsong

19 July 2024 (island dawn)

island dawn

a gull wangles a bone

on the bedroom roof

23 June 2024 (creaky hinge)

creaky hinge

of a pheasant’s call

daybreak

21 December 2023 (solstice dawn)

solstice dawn

a holly bush catches

the windblown oak leaf

16 December 2023 (slowed)

slowed by cold dawn crawling the hillside snow

15 December 2023 (misreading)

misreading

the bedside clock

winter dawn

17 August 2022 (dawn)

island dawn

before the rooster

gulls

16 August 2022 (dawn)

island dawn

a passing ship’s foghorn

reaches my dream
