picnic for one

in the autumn forest
white hair aglow
a wild lettuce seed
drifts past

this longing

to hit the road
goldenrod

ghost pipes

sweating through the longest day of the year​

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.

rain crow

when did the back of my hand 
turn strange?

lady’s-slipper

alone in the forest 
her green shawl

big wind

lost in the small hairs 
of hepaticas

first hepaticas

will the circle be unbroken

trailing

myself on the app 
arbutus

Roundtop

a linked-verse sequence

witch hazel

sun shriveling
in effigy
