January |
winter storm you call from the cell phone -- i offer up prayers |
|
February |
February -- using the sled hill just in case |
|
March |
sloshing through mud to admire skunk cabbage before its aroma |
|
April |
taking its time - that first banana slug crosses the walk |
|
May |
maypole day - weeping willow leaves furl about their limb |
|
June |
june solstice - the peacock takes forever to open its tail |
|
July |
by the sea . . . my dreams audible in a windchime |
|
August |
drought year -- the redhead's freckles doubled by august |
|
September |
September labor pains -- my birthday, but the baby waits for her own |
|
October |
all soul's eve -- a black mitten rings the doorbell |
|
November |
bursting so often they almost intersect - meteors |
|
December |
melted snow -- in between storms a child is born ! |
