JANUARY Sky |
This blue sky lemons and oranges dropping from the trees. |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
waiting for spring— beneath this rose bush a daughter's ashes |
|
MARCH Flight |
an owl swoops the moon watches from a distance |
|
APRIL Flowers |
sharp spines erect field thistle blooms by the roadside |
|
MAY Land |
pinelands a scent of vanilla as i hike the trail |
|
JUNE New Life |
abandoned building white owl pellets fresh beneath this roost |
|
JULY Animals |
fishing the old dog rests by my bait bucket |
|
AUGUST Time |
insomnia I sip cups of chamomile through the long night |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
half moon transparent moon jelly floats in the water |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
listen now only the rustle of autumn leaves |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
shed shell a lady crab's carapace washes ashore |
|
DECEMBER Family |
dreaming my father holds his grandson |
|
