What May Come

Where did it come from, this premonition that someday I will be parted from my head?

cowbird song

a drop of rain for each 
newborn leaf

such greedy

red appendages 
born-again maple

snow in April

a face pressed against 
the train window

blue-headed vireo

an oak tree’s 
newest mouth

between showers

six fish crows 
and the sun

spring creek

the waterthrush dancing 
by its side

early gnats

in my ears a trout’s splash​

Roundtop

a linked-verse sequence

Spring Rain

a linked-verse sequence

thinking

the barn is a tree 
clever squirrel

March wind
