deer trail . . .

black flies swarming

but not yet biting

26 July 2023 (timothy)

timothy twined with vetch

a winding labyrinth

of deer trails

22 April 2023 (spring breeze)

spring breeze the deer picking up my scent

30 March 2023 (deer trail)

deer trail . . .

the wood frogs fall silent

at my approach

14 February 2023 (crabapples)

last crabapples . . .

a line of hearts follows

the deer

21 January 2023 (jet trails)

jet trails . . .

a line of deer tracks marks

the field’s fresh snow

8 January 2023 (fresh snow)

fresh snow . . .

where a deer bedded down

an oval of green

4 December 2022 (wind)

windy summit

a doe in the lower field

raises her head

27 February 2022 (Ducktrap River)

Ducktrap River

deer tracks in snow lead me

to open water

7 February 2022 (rain)

rain on snow

a line of deer tracks softens

into hearts

20 December 2021 (doe)

afternoon snow

the piebald doe fades

into the shadows
