24 March 2026 (Jupiter at its zenith)

Jupiter at its zenith —

light spilling

from a restaurant doorway

26 March 2025 (before dawn)

before dawn

the clarity

of the Big Dipper

14 February 2025 (Venus)

Venus

at her brightest

Valentine’s night

8 December 2024 (after the snow)

after the snow stops the moon and Saturn

12 August 2023 (Perseids)

Perseids . . .

the Milky Way spills

into the ocean

22 January 2023 (distant twinkle)

the distant twinkle

of a neighbor’s porch light

—passing comet

3 December 2022 (bare branches)

bare branches . . .

the moon and Jupiter

from our kitchen

6 November 2022 (space)

space between us . . .

you text me Jupiter

alongside the moon

8 November 2021 (early dark)

in this early dark

moving closer for warmth . . .

the moon and Venus

The Moon and Venus over the Hannaford parking lot tonight

30 September 2021 (Galilean moons)

Galilean moons

the perfect clarity

of hindsight

19 September 2021 (Venus)

. . . sailor’s delight

Venus slowly enters

the waves
