I live in an Appalachian hollow in the Juniata watershed of central Pennsylvania, and spend a great deal of time walking in the woods. My books of poetry include FAILED STATE: HAIBUN, ICE MOUNTAIN: AN ELEGY, BREAKDOWN: BANJO POEMS, and ODES TO TOOLS.

American bittersweet

on his gravestone low as the sun​

rocks

picnic for one

in the autumn forest
white hair aglow
a wild lettuce seed
drifts past

trees, wildflowers

this longing

to hit the road
goldenrod

wildflowers

toadstools

let me put on
my rain hat

first cold morning

two caterpillars sleeping
in each other’s fur

insects

first cool night

the whole milky way
between crickets

insects

morning fog

woken by a text
about birds

where the oak

split off from its lost half open mouthed

trees

Fog walker

fog walker 
the millipede’s carpet 
of legs

fall foliage, leaves, spiderweb, trees

Berry season: four haiku

swamp forest 
hugging the bucket 
of blueberries

beetles, trees

hot hike

wearing my halo 
of poison

leaves

storm cellar

one last Mason jar
of white lightning
