11??? ball of sun low and
08??? morning shine
10??? cat in for
11??? surgery coughs up
08??? hairball comes home
11??? dungarees
11??? drying over dowtown
08??? balcony
12??? twice this week
11??? friends round the table
08??? such richness
13?? dark before dinner
11?? I walk out late into the
08?? bright full moon sky night
14 ? the moon loved the sun
11?? all night long.? its dawn now
08?? they’re still up, shining
15 ? the leaves dance
11?? sideways off the tree
08?? dry clear wind
16 ? a finch? no! taller
11?? proud little Swainson’s thrush
08?? hops through my backyard
17?? an awkward peace,
11?? this loving the world
08?? and oneself
18?? all through
11?? the dark meadow walk
08?? ears listening
19?? lower chin to chest
11?? mind drops down into
08?? the dark quiet body
20?? the light goes
11?? the birds come in flocks
08?? come in close
21?? altogether
11?? the world is more than any
08?? lover, gifts everywhere
22?? out early
11?? to drop on knees and see
08?? nights stories on the path
23 ? soft line of
11?? frost on my sunrise
08?? warm window
24 ? bundled up
11?? I watch him make me
08?? chicken soup
25?? so many hours
11?? the long nights offer
08?? us to dream
26?? unbuttoned
11?? his shirt hoping to catch
08?? his wild heart
27?? heart quickens
11?? heading across town
08?? my whole family there!
28?? push and pull
11?? nephew on big swing
08?? heart swings too
29?? forage for
11?? fungus, mussels, nettles
08?? friendship
30?? how dear the close moon?????????????????????????????????????? earthshine
11?? tonight showing us our place
08?? in the space of things
1???? big sea day
12?? misty air filled with
08?? salt and sulfur
2???? hawk flushed nearby
12?? banded tail and sharp
08?? eyes flashed
3???? so very cold
12?? so very grateful for
08?? my roof, cozy bed
4?? ? day light leaves
12 ? imperceptible
08?? gait of clouds remains
5???? how music, so
12?? companionable
08?? carries the world for awhile
6???? dozens of gulls
12?? wheeling as gulls do
08?? stirring the sky
7??? bridge of nose explores
12? line of jaw, warm ear, hands find
08? a new conversation
8???? N out of town
12?? missed our morning connection
08?? email chat instead!
9???? neat knit rows
12?? shrink to fuzzy bands of color
08?? soft and stripey
10?? left poem for the
12?? cute waiter at Saturn cafe
08?? doubly sweet treat
11?? night sandpipers crowd close
12?? move together like a thought
08?? along the dark bank
12?? unutterable mystery of night
12?? articulate the morning light
08?? and enunciative
13?? low tide beach is glass
12?? then surf, tumbling blue diamonds,
08?? then nothing but sky
14?? dark storm today
12?? the house quiet, cold.? what is
08?? the Christmas spirit?
15?? “how are you?”
12?? like the weather this week:
08?? sunshine, rainbows, dark storms
16?? that feeling
12?? after being heart sick
08?? so joyous!
17?? low winter light, fields
12?? washed gold, shadows burrow
08?? long in furrows
18?? wet cat jumps
12?? on warm dry lap
08?? smiling smugly
19?? just eight
12?? he steps on stage and
08?? can’t stop giggling????????????????????????? tierra pacifica charter school holiday play
20??? crystals draw
12??? all the candlelight
08??? to her throat
21??? like any other
12??? but shorter this day
08??? year of haiku
One year!
