empty mussel shells

litter the lake shore

bloodwork

she tells me

I have good veins

expecting rain

at any moment

poplar leaves

10 September 2023 (witch's butter)

witch’s butter . . .

a bridge where trolls

await their toll

dragon horn lichen

pill bugs flee

the fallen fairy house

late-summer wren song

dismantling

the fairy house

hazy sunset

on the doorstep the glow

of summer squash

evening primrose

the see-saw of a goldfinch

and his song

morning heat

the neighbor’s cat waits

under our feeders

pond-side bench

conjoined dragonflies

join me

grasshopper weather . . .

a face-off on the trail

with a white hen
