out of nowhere
a crescent moon

first trip south –
mama bird flies behind
protecting her wing

geese going south
others heading north
who’s in charge here?

whipping offshore winds
freezing waters, instant death
warming the blood

tanker painted white
camouflaging black insides
hiding in the snow

channel marker there
stationary as the wavelets
wash against its sides

barely perceptible
light blue mist
gauze over green water

pale silhouette
on a purple sky —
night flight heading home

dark of the solstice —
we beg
for the coming of light

deep in the shrubbery
tiny mating cries
— try me! no me! no me!

lone plane ascending
up through the clouds

ten thousand maple seeds
carpeting the river walk
— which one stands a chance?
