12 June 2023 (home)

home again looking a little older the irises

11 June 2023 (repeating)

repeating aloud

a favorite poem

red-eyed vireo

10 June 2023 (flush)

flush of pink flowers in the median open highway

9 June 2023 (parts)

parts of speech . . .

around the yard viburnums

flowering

8 June 2023 (AQI)

air quality index we’re both reduced to tears

7 June 2023 (bygone)

bygone smokestack . . .

an osprey’s keening

above its nest

6 June 2023 (rain)

June rain

greening

the river rocks

5 June 2023 (back)

back home —

some peonies have escaped

their cage

4 June 2023 (the song)

the song sparrow’s outside voice azalea garden

3 June 2023 (redstart)

a redstart’s sweet song . . .

rain-wet petals cling

to my hands

2 June 2023 (following)

following a deer trail

to the beaver pond

deer flies
