6 June 2026 (waiting to wish)

waiting to wish

on the first star

me and a pheasant

5 June 2026 (after the sunset)

after the sunset

walking home with

the scent of lilacs

4 June 2026 (flaring sunset)

flaring sunset —

from the marsh a sora’s calls

grow louder

3 June 2026 (island sunset)

island sunset

gulls’ cries mingling

with the shouts of children

2 June 2026 (lilac breeze)

lilac breeze

the chatter of swifts

too high to see

1 June 2026 (a parula singing)

a parula singing

in the rhubarb patch . . .

June begins

31 May 2026 (redstart's song)

redstart’s song

from a beachside spruce

the perfect heart rock

30 May 2026 (a catboat)

a single catboat

tacking up the sound

wind-trimmed spruces

29 May 2026 (wild azalea)

wild azalea

a deer trail crosses

the hiking trail

28 May 2026 (an audiobook’s sex scene)

an audiobook’s sex scene —

apple blossoms blur

outside the car windows

27 May 2026 (dusk)

dusk

horse chestnut candles

line a country road
