24 October 2022 (rain)

persistent rain

in the distance one crow

calls to another

23 October 2022 (silly)

in full view

of the blushing maple

bare ash

22 October 2022 (a flash)

a flash of insight

lost on waking—

Orionids

21 October 2022 (aspens)

yellow aspens

without a sound a jay

becomes sky

20 October 2022 (young sparrow)

a young sparrow

practicing its song

first frost

19 October 2022 (moonset)

moonset

a window cracked

for the last crickets

18 October 2022 (falling leaves)

falling leaves the yellow of the last warbler

17 October 2022 (the usual)

the usual

back and forth of the nuthatch

fluorescent leaves

16 October 2022 (pruning)

fall pruning

three bags of clothes

off to Goodwill

15 October 2022 (wine-red)

wine-red leaves drinking in the view

14 October 2022 (all-day rain)

all-day rain . . .

I open the door thinking

the cat will stay in
