spruce needle rain . . .

old man’s beard lichen

sways in a gust

geese overhead in the dark aurora borealis

10 October 2024 (wind rustling...)

wind rustling dead leaves

the chipmunk’s alarm call

goes on forever

shopping for mums

I let a bumblebee

choose the colors

approaching comet —

just a hint of red

in the maple leaves

7 October 2024 (millions...)

millions of migrating birds

overhead in the dark

one acorn falling

the tallest spruces

lit by sunrise

a raven’s chime

5 October 2024 (after the whale)

after the whale

all the waves

that look like whales

4 October 2024 (this longing)

this longing for home

sparrows forage in a patch

of wild mustard

3 October 2024 (new moon)

new moon

the orb weaver repairs

a hole in her web

2 October 2024 (sun through fog)

sun through fog . . .

the grape arbor rustling

with orioles
