sawed-off end of a log
now riddled
with openings

maple-leaf viburnum
maple-leaf viburnum / turns out its true color / is viburnum
state forest
haiku: state forest / a maze of snail trails / on the road sign
at the trailhead
at the trailhead / a maple limb grows down / into the earth
snake at my feet
snake at my feet / wanting and not wanting / to stroke its scales
sprouting acorns
haiku: “sprouting acorns / the No Hunting sign / nearly blank with age”
this motel
always has vacancies— dead maple
January wind
draws a circle on the snow with a trapped leaf
diseased laurel leaves
red and green against the snow— Merry fucking Christmas
shelf fungi on a stump
even with these special seats squirrels still make a mess
fog at first light
pale clumps of mountain laurel light our way
gaywings
slumming it in the leaf duff still looks fabulous
