September 20: Bouquet

After the rain, fog.

Late blooming island roses

perfume the morning.

September 19: After rain, fog. As if an island weren't isolating enough.

Island hushed with fog,

the village in silhouette--

I take a deep breath.

September 18: Cathedral Woods

rainfall in a drought

spruces hum and sigh with it

wet trail smells of joy

September 17: Moonlight

moon rising tonight

as bright as the pantry window

what a view

September 16: Full

through snarled and tangled branches

harvest moon rising

a lump in my throat

September 15: Feels like fall

Harvest Moon tomorrow.

Chipmunk storing seeds

in the empty birdhouse.

September 14: New Orleans

He texts a photo

of the moon rising

over the Mississippi.

September 13: Home alone

House empty but me.

The only sounds: frig humming,

slow pulse of crickets.

September 12: All life's a stage

If you heeded crows

your day would be full

of small but urgent dramas.

September 11: Kids these days

Skateboarding teens help

a penny-sized turtle hatchling

find the river.

September 10: Sudden harvest

Artillery of acorns

pounds the roof

of the empty house next door.
