Poet: an'ya Region: Oregon, Pacific Northwest, USA |

JANUARY Sky |
flake by flake by flake and so forth... the lost horizon |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
february earth— returning home all alone from the vet's office |
|
MARCH Flight |
over-water flight a slight bend in the left V of returning geese |
|
APRIL Flowers |
first buttercups there, but only an inch above ground level |
|
MAY Land |
central oregon— flat-bottom clouds spread out over the cheat grass |
|
JUNE New Life |
a mother crossing the road behind her baby quail |
|
JULY Animals |
heat lightning— tiger kittens roll over on the carpet |
|
AUGUST Time |
heat wave now she calls high tea time— iced tea time |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
autumn ocean unbleached pieces of driftwood |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
middle of nowhere autumn leaves blow across the county line |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
animation under a thin layer of ice great koi |
|
DECEMBER Family |
snow sledding— so many clothes the toddler resembles a penguin |
