Companion
a sense ofsomeone pacing me,betrayed now and thenby drizzle and mist a wooded path edgesthe deep glacial lakea preference for duskor early morningalmost rain graymy unseen companion
Late Day Sail
daylight caught in clouded gray sudden white caps on the bay unprepared for wind and rain a sail boat hustles to harbor
Boat Yard
fog charms boat yard derricks softens stilted stances as if in dance they celebrate a slow start to the day’s work
The Room
he reaches the almost dawn book shadowed shelves while his city slumbers
his furniture rustles awake welcomes him once again in this diaphanous hour
for reasons known only to itself this Sunday’s clouded light makes an effort to be morning
Afternoon
in unison the flock dips then rises across the late afternoon sky to disappear in the fir tree darkening blue soon brings the day to a close
Chickadee
five inches beak tip to tail upside down in the tree in search of insects this windy rainy day
Rain
quick rain at the window startled everyone in its intensity as if trying to join the conversation at the dinner party
Evening
vast eveningawaits starsno moon rise paves a pathacross the lakegarden walksdisappearstones hold wall’s duty tostand againstintruders who make their way as quiet nightpreparesfor dreams
Coat
the coat’s exhausted seamsbarely keep gusty winds at baythis gray autumn afternoonmomentarily startled bythin sunlight’s pale sky
Cocktail Hour
the room’s worn functional furniture like the men and women quietly talking looking out the window to the garden equally in need of tending
Fall Rain
in windy levitationfrivolity just beforerain spattered calm rambunctious leavesenliven sidewalks
Crescent Moon
bare gray clouds hints of sun’s gold on island edges darkness kidnaps the bright crescent for the journey west
Mourning Morning
a bedraggled morningno particular purposehides behind the curtainswaits expectantly outsidethe not yet opened doorperhaps purpose lurksbeyond low gray cloudsthat blanket the islands
Spider Web
spider webs glint inafternoon’s slant lightthe large spider inrent free occupancy where flowered plantsoverflow ceramic pots and the deck looks toback yards and islands
in ever briefer days
Morning Frost
morning’s frosty silencespreads across all thingsas far as eyes can seecrystalline white
