swamp forest hugging the bucket of blueberries
hot hike
wearing my halo of poison
storm cellar
one last Mason jar
of white lightning
lost dog (linked verses)
lost dog enchanter’s nightshade burs in its ears
hot tub
laid bare in the woods a junkie’s pale face
sunset gold
under umbrellas a buzzing phone
ghost pipes
sweating through the longest day of the year
first heat wave
a black bear’s clawprints in the mud
Jumpseed leaf (linked verse sequence)
vireo holding forth
on a verse from vireo
bend in the road
an indigo bunting
dries his wings
dancing flames
a ruby-throated hummingbird here and gone
dancing flames
a ruby-throated hummingbird here and gone
