30 December 2024 (year's end)

year’s end . . .

fog hides the breakwater

and its lighthouse

15 December 2024 (cold moon)

cold moon

an empty urchin shell

cupping sea water

18 November 2024 (full-moon tide)

full-moon tide

the body of a gull

washes up on the jetty

15 May 2024 (offshore breeze)

offshore breeze . . .

a bumblebee heads

out to sea

14 May 2024 (granite jetty)

granite jetty—

tundra-bound sandpipers

feed in the seaweed

17 February 2024 (north wind)

north wind

a small raft of sea ducks

drops in a trough

16 February 2024 (fresh snow on granite)

fresh snow on granite

the faint purple sheen

of purple sandpipers

3 November 2023 (pebble beach)

pebble beach . . .

casting a heart

back into the waves

3 April 2023 (carrying)

carrying my anger

to the breakwater’s end

blast grooves in granite

11 March 2023 (sandpipers)

dogging sandpipers

to the breakwater’s end

high tide waves

19 January 2023 (calm before)

calm before the storm

the voices of fishermen

carry to shore
