10 May 2025 (downpour)

downpour

a robin’s dawn song

drowned out by the river

7 May 2025 (spring runoff)

spring runoff

the spillover

of birdsong

3 April 2025 (spring runoff)

spring runoff

a single thunderclap

vibrates the house

2 April 2025 (spring runoff)

spring runoff —

a vulture dipping low

over the river bank

16 March 2025 (meltwater)

meltwater rising a flock of grackles

9 March 2025 (meltwater)

meltwater

a river rock struggles

against the current

14 April 2024 (spring freshet)

spring freshet

a girl in boots and tutu

plays at the edge

13 April 2024 (high water)

high water

the semiotics

of river rocks

30 March 2024 (another rainy day)

another rainy day the flow of poems

13 March 2024 (riding high)

riding high and fast

down the swollen river —

late winter light

11 March 2024 (home again)

home again the river rushing to meet me
