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

Spring Rain

a linked-verse sequence

thinking

the barn is a tree 
clever squirrel

March wind

A linked-verse sequence.

Water Gap

Train following the river; snowflakes following the train.

mountaintop pool

trees reassembling
after each breeze

red flowers

for the dead—
felled maple

gloom

lifting without lifting within

Leafless

There’s no denying the appeal of dead trees: they look more human.
