This December’s Interval

rock, leaf, ice, snow
elements and artifacts
underfoot

Proximity

missive
from the future
fall’s imminence

Nature’s Time

flowering sundial
it’s gnomon
the coulds

They Meet Each Spring

enduring rock
perpetual phlox
kindreds

Granite Face

head cocked
piercing eye
shy smile

In Endless Variation And Subtlety

mighty granite
displays so many grays
in the shale of the palisades

Myself and I

in sunlight
I stroll
with my shadow
