MRC swing, Jun ‘22

awake before dawn 
all senses fully attuned 
to world waking up

mockingbird on tree top, Nov ‘22

top of the morning 
a mockingbird on its perch 
belting out its song

2022.08.01: respite

a walk in the woods 
after long awaited rain 
earthy smell of life

2022.05.03: aftershock

the moment after
the phonograph stops spinning
how loud the silence

vulture , Apr ‘22

beneath wind scourged limbs 
far from prying eyes above 
not time to die yet
