where the oak

split off from its lost half open mouthed

Fog walker

fog walker 
the millipede’s carpet 
of legs

Berry season: four haiku

swamp forest 
hugging the bucket 
of blueberries

sunset gold

under umbrellas a buzzing phone​

Jumpseed leaf (linked verse sequence)

vireo holding forth
on a verse from vireo

In black cherry time

This is what happens as soon as I stop walking, my daily habit: I become habitat.

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
