9 September 2026 (heavy sky)

heavy sky

a crow flies off

with a throat full of peanuts

8 September 2026 (crickets)

crickets . . .

turning down

the hold music

7 September 2026 (birding)

birding by ear poplar grove

6 September 2026 (bright horizon line)

bright horizon line—

joyous shouts

from the arriving ferry

5 September 2026 (sunlit sills)

sunlit sills

twenty-knot gusts

running loose through the house

4 September 2026 (engine pulse)

engine pulse . . .

the seiners’ lights

burning through fog

3 September 2026 (morning walk)

morning walk

the snap crackle pop

of grasshoppers in flight

2 September 2026 (waning day moon)

waning day moon

a crow knocks open

the last peanut

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
