in the green eyes of an indoor cat

trees with feathers

laundromat coyote

snout out of order

destroying angel

mushroom on his chin old turtle

blocking the trail

a castleback orbweaver’s latest fly

back from a hike

a leaf-footed bug on the Honda

rattlesnake

at the scenic vista the distant sun

first cold morning

two caterpillars sleeping
in each other’s fur

first heat wave

a black bear’s clawprints 
in the mud

winter’s over

time to shed your coat 
woolly bear

Roundtop

a linked-verse sequence

frog pond

taking the sky 
for a ride

bald eagle

from the ridgetop pines
a long sigh
