a frothy ground swell
swollen roots in the shallows
of dry river’s wake

Rose Creek Preserve, #137
We started up the trailhead, leaving our car alone in the parking lot. We walked single file, you in front, as we weaved our way though leafless branches stuck in winter’s shadow heavy with autumn rain. It was quiet. The only sound was the crunch our feet on fallen leaves and sticks scattered on the wood chip path. The day was unusually warm, but it felt cool under the weight of thicket’s canopy. We reached the edge of south hill’s shadow into the warm wind and sun; you reached out to hold my hand.
out-stretched rigid wings
wind weaves; feather folds shiver
her whispering cry

meandering sky
drinks in the shadowy folds
twist of white willow
late November, #135
1.
from her white hat -drip!
rolls down the curve of…
-drip!
2.
brittle faded leaf
colors drawn into gray waves
sheen skims dry river
3.
in the autumn glow
galloping on the prairie
plumes of goldenrod
November garden, #134
sprinkle of snowflake
alight on thorny branches
autumn rose in bloom
autumn sun, #133
1.
dripping with autumn
sunflower’s sunshine shadow
footsteps pass -plashing!
2.
leaves ride waves of grass
reflecting light weaving though
the gray autumn skies
3.
in the old shed plank
dripping in the marsh pond fog
floats the mid-day moon
taut, #132
lost in the drizzle
dripping between here and there
I had a thought
autumn noise, #131
1
on evening commute
settles without a whisper
the pounding day’s rain
2
slippery needles
lie in slippery shadows
slips mid-autumn sun
3
an eruption -boom!
pluck of a string -vibrations!
not moving an inch
breeze, #130
a light in the night
your leaves and branches -beaming
in the mountain pond

snowberries! #129
daytime star-clusters
weave among clouds and branches
after autumn rain
