the light
in a woodland tunnel
a hermit thrush
singing me
back to myself

in the garden
late evening
a cuckoo
keeps time

zoomed a mountain meadow
memory stirs
with my morning tea

night watch
on a winter ship,
the stars
tangled in
the frozen rigging

peeking…
forget-me-nots
and morning sun
this moment
less alone

Sun peeks through maple trees onto a patch of blue forget-me-nots.

serpentine pathways
where #diligence replaces
the failure of words
#sunflowers turn toward silence
orange prelude to the dark

a path of crumbs
the sandwich I lost
to seagulls
leading nowhere
and everywhere

the poppy chooses
to blaze red against the gloom
vision without flame
at the edge of night she waits
quiet in her certainty

the doe
with the broken ankle
somehow now pregnant—
something in me resists
calling this hope

my heart is the sea
the waves my heartbeats
rushing to your shore
where these arms cradle
the #shell of your ribs

trail running
the same loop
of regret
 I let the weeds
whip me

#tired stars folded in
#nirvana bloomed through her wings
she became a rush
not of air but of recall
rising where all things begin

old dictionary
yellow scent of a dry sigh
as I turn pages
all the words we shut inside
remember their meaning

ink of the wind on feathers
script melts into air
the #answer knows no language
yet leaves a print in #marrow

frees her hair in the wind.
dances on the green
one last night
with the smiling moon

#moonbeams unweave slow
into the #stillness of dawn
night leaves without grief
certain every thread of dark
will find its way back home

the bend in the river ___
her heart races

they journey together

the slow erosion
my father's memory
and the shoreline
every day on our walks
more questions than answers

the sudden pale
when haunted by
wraiths of time —
I turn the hourglass over;
my complexion returns

beats on the land
dreams built
trampled to crumbs
blow away

steaming in my kitchen
am I in Portugal
grasping the fruit

Possess me not
The oaks and a crow's murder
Shelter me from harm
Unusual protection
