masks on
a drive from church
with a friend
wool hat
bright red in the
emptying woods
leashed labrador
strains for passerby
connection
three miles an hour
learning to live life
with God
autumn blue
a jay squawks
stridently

connection
three miles an hour
learning to live life
with God
autumn blue
a jay squawks
stridently
a ballad
childhood joy
sings
dog crate
getting ready for
her first puppy
shadows dancing
goldenrod under the weight
of a chickadee
a long walk
tears surface
history
parachute kite
surfer skimming over
the water
turkey vulture
circling the fishing
harbour
fallen leaves
overlooking a ravine
with thanksgiving
acorns
scattered along the path
chipmunks gathering
burning bush
the brilliant red
of autumn
bloom
where you're planted
wild asters
red-tailed hawk
hunting the squirrel scrambling
around the tree
goldenrod
browning along
the edges
hiking shoes
caked with mud from
deep in the woods
childhood guitar
returns after time with
another girl
sand
firm by the pounding
waves
my story
an echo in church
singing praise
yellow leaf
drifts through the open
car window
eating dinner
crosslegged by the screendoor
listening to crickets
an umbrella
tucked in a book bag in case
the grey clouds darken
chickadee
disarming the
burrs
