where they felled it

the paper mill chimney’s last cloud

old metal

weathering into a meadow

river road

passed by a floating tire

laundromat coyote

snout out of order

last supper

at the junkyard who saves whom

patchy fog

the pileated woodpecker nailing it

water striders

going against the flow to stay still

hiding

in the forest fires formaldehyde

clearing wind

I’ve managed to escape my flies

early gnats

in my ears a trout’s splash​

Spring Rain

a linked-verse sequence

Water Gap

Train following the river; snowflakes following the train.
