rebuilding the nest

another spring house phoebe​

frog pond

taking the sky 
for a ride

Lenten moon

the trees must store these shadows
somewhere deep

spring shower

just as the sun comes out 
a killdeer’s cry

bald eagle

from the ridgetop pines
a long sigh

Spring Mountain (renku)

spring mountain snowdrifts rotting in the sun old coyote scat mouse bones in mouse fur petrichor the dry skin of…

winter’s end

a fox sparrow serenades
the bare dirt

winter’s end

tentacles of ice
beside the spring

drifting snow

with the wind’s attention 
to detail

old farm dump

the refrigerator open 
to more snow

bare ground again

a mourning cloak’s 
black velvet

Wet Snow: a haiga sequence

old silk threads 
new caterpillars 
of snow
