1 September 2026 (suddenly)

suddenly September blues of the bay

31 August 2026 (island rooftops)

island rooftops

just-weaned gulls

whining whining

30 August 2026 (the lilt)

the lilt

of the wren’s song

writing this poem

29 August 2026 (zero visibility)

zero visibility

lighthouse granite

darkens with rain

28 August 2026 (insomnia)

insomnia

earth’s shadow

reddens the moon

27 August 2026 (late summer light)

late summer light

trying to gauge

the blackberry’s ripeness

26 August 2026 (fog hides the mountain)

fog hides the mountain

one crow

won’t shut up

25 August 2026 (warm summer night)

warm summer night . . .

we turn down the TV

to hear an owl

24 August 2026 (a tuft of lichen)

a tuft of lichen

left by the crow . . .

morning dew

23 August 2026 (roadside crows)

roadside crows

goldenrod screens

the political signs

22 August 2026 (a tree frog’s trill)

a treefrog’s trill . . .

rain patter quickens

on the tent roof
