Two trains running

Trying to find the words for a rock oak on the mountainside…

humid evening

a small cloud gathers
on the road

end of summer

holes
in mushroom parasols

volunteer tomato

holding its children up
to the sun

deep in the forest

a hummingbird scratching
behind her ear

house

held by a swallowtail
with tattered wings

the exact middle of nowhere

empty web

thunder

and katydids—
tonight’s soup

forest…

enough daylight
for an ant

lakeshore reflections

the book
I forgot

tombescence (n):

the fruiting body
of a fungus

old strip mine

a fragment of forest
preserved in shale
