ash instead of rain —
we close our eyes to see
where the banyan stood



August 08, 2023

cutting back
all the non-native flowers —
I'll tell the bees



August 07, 2023

listening to rain
making its way back
to the lake



August 06, 2023

places where the rock
folded in on itself —
time touching time



August 05, 2023

northern gannet pair
their bent necks a reflection
longing and relief



August 04, 2023

when I was five
my father built a sail boat —
I handed him nails



August 03, 2023

first, salty beach air
then clover and pine needles —
my sweet sun-baked day




August 02, 2023

past overflowing —
the fog that poured in today
kept right on coming



August 01, 2023

a cliffside walk
matching songs to their singers —
I know yours, as well
