28 August 2023 (stepping lightly)

stepping lightly

a fritillary

in the bergamot

27 August 2023 (rising wind)

rising wind —

our long conversation

about short poems

26 August 2023 (a stone wall)

a stone wall has failed

to contain the forest

interrupted ferns

25 August 2023 (long marriage)

long marriage . . .

a spruce tree’s roots

embrace the bedrock

24 August 2023 (deep woods)

deep woods

wondering what path

she’s on now

23 August 2023 (river glare)

river glare the osprey’s downward look

22 August 2023 (late summer)

late summer

a school bus idles

at the light

21 August 2023 (begging gull)

begging gull chick

the decibel level

of need

20 August 2023 (a dragonfly)

a dragonfly

the color of grass

lifting fog

19 August 2023 (wind-shredded)

wind-shredded clouds

the ferry’s stern line strains

against the wharf

18 August 2023 (passing)

passing downpour

a tanker’s long horn blasts

somewhere up the bay
