11 October 2026 (northerly wind)

northerly wind

a flock of siskins unzips

the spruce cones

8 October 2026 (it never)

it never gets old migrating geese

4 October 2026 (autumn chill)

autumn chill a kinglet’s unexpected song

30 September 2026 (Zugunruhe)

Zugunruhe

a flock of robins

passing over the airport

12 September 2026 (lost in the stars)

lost in the stars . . .

distant flight calls

of migrating birds

10 September 2026 (blustery morning)

blustery morning

a panicked flicker

then the hawk

15 November 2025 (late-season)

late-season vultures this tilted planet

12 October 2025 (last day)

last day on the island . . .

a monarch pauses

on some seaside asters

11 October 2025 (yellowing ferns)

yellowing ferns . . .

with each step down the trail

another sparrow

10 October 2025 (spruce needle rain)

spruce needle rain . . .

a sparrow attempts the song

his father sang

1 October 2025 (distant fishing boat)

distant fishing boat . . .

the green within

a sunlit wave
