crescent moon
a foal’s whisker bends
toward milk

subtle shifts
of a swallow-tailed kite
twilight jazz
an orphan
chooses her birthday
first crocus
lottery call expressions at the midnight cafe
tidepool minnows the splosh of a spoonbill
sixty years on
the bulge in a knuckle
grazed by a fastball
rusting in dry dock
a boat named
let it be
the barn owl
shaking his head
debate night
scent of cedar
a yellow-bellied slider
from sun to shade
alpenglow the minnow slips a second paw
Christmas eve wrapping a cold-stunned turtle in seaweed
wild aster
why am i so easily
amused
unweathered slats
in the old dune fence
plover trills
dock sunset
the silvery pinks
of loose fish scales
abbey ruins
through a window frame
a tuft of wild barley
