21 May 2023 (grosbeak)

grosbeak’s song pausing for the first starflowers

20 May 2023 (fog lifting)

fog lifting the shine of blue rain boots

19 May 2023 (gale)

gale warning

Venus pins down

the sky

18 May 2023 (spring)

spring rising in pitch parula song

17 May 2023 (anniversary)

anniversary—

the trillium blooming

right where it always does

16 May 2023 (shaking loose)

shaking loose my work day the rattle of rails in cattails

15 May 2023 (highway)

highway pines . . .

a car wash sign announces

it’s pollen season

14 May 2023 (sultry)

sultry dusk

the desire

in a cardinal’s voice

13 May 2023 (at the end)

at the end of the rainbow blue sky greening hillside

12 May 2023 (one lane)

one lane road ahead . . .

a drainage ditch brims

with marsh marigolds

11 May 2023 (the worn slate)

the worn slate gravestone

of someone named Thankful

apple blossoms
