thought by thought

this after-sunset sky...

pipistrelles

Acorn #29, 2012

hint of cool . . .

the green-corbelled oaks

heavy with crows

Acorn #28, 2012

cumulonimbus

the egret preens deeper

into its breast

Acorn #28, 2012

something

you're not telling me . . .

camellia buds

Acorn #28, 2012

thunderhead

the buzzard's eye

fills with sky

Acorn #27, 2011

butterfly dust . . .

the question I never

dared to ask

Acorn #27, 2011

from the throat

of a blackbird

morning star

Acorn #26, 2011

goldfinch breeze...

the sense of losing

what I never had

Blithe Spirit, June 2011

blackbird song . . .

the universe

expands

The Heron's Nest, March 2011

rising sun . . .

the fawn's bed of meadowsweet

unfolds from the dew

The Heron’s Nest, December 2012

winter sun...

the soft flicker of waxwings

in the firethorn

The Heron’s Nest, March 2012

just-fledged light

chips of wren song

from the log pile

Presence #45, 2011

white peony

the milliner orders

more silk

A Hundred Gourds, June 2013

mayfly in amber

the ink of my death poem

still wet

Frogpond 36:2, 2013

spring mist

steaming in its caul

the newborn lamb
