on writing, rewriting, & taking notes

Flock of egrets

A dozen? Dispersed.

On one leg, taking their morning

Ablutions, as if at the Ganges,

White wet veshtis,

A singular swan, small swanlette,

Madeleine, combray

eyeblink

Tarps covering cut wood from last winter

(Winter over)

Fishing trawler start

CemetRy

Rain falling on ponds,

Droplets and sheen

Morning by rail

Graffiti welcoming behind safety glas.

Smokestack railyard are we in ct already

Train coasting now off power

A delicate darling

Weather Report

 

 

The sky is a mix of pale and dusky blues, and a night chorus of frog cry begins.  The wind blows through the trees.

Earlier, the snow fell in clumps, and flew, scatterbusrt, carried by the wind.

The rain was steady, a humming drizzle.

It feels like summer, or it did.

There goes a goose, just one, in the field that became a lake, and that shows no sign of receding.

It calls again, then emits throaty honks, a plaintive sound in this twilight.

The sun, when it came out at last, was golden but momentarily.

There, the goose calls is stronger, but aching.

Spring comes and goes, unsettled, not sure, not sure at all.
