a grass blade curved into the Arabic for “eye”

January moon
we startle at each other’s faces
heart-shaped hole
in the black cherry snag flying squirrel dung
ephemeral pond
the trees wear icy collars at the high-water mark
old corncrib
orderly kernals of light on the bare floor
porcupine
dressed as itself on Halloween
huckleberry leaves
in their autumn burgundy slow vireo song
honey locust
pods twist in the spaces between the thorns
an Asian stinkbug
blunders across a pair of painted tulips
bindweed’s heart-shaped leaves
the two goldenrod stalks topple together
ornamental cherry
now that it’s dead it can shine all year long
wingstem
the buzzing gets louder every time the wind blows
