Haiku:
the old ways of rocks
eelgrass
limpets
cling
to their past
streetlights dim
for the skunk
a thinning spruce
grows new twigs
drought
on the horizon
longhorns licking up dew
volcano
rabbit
on
the
verge
of
historic
ash
full moon crossing
free-tailed bats
leave night in a cave
high ambitions…
chinstrap penguins
build upon their nest
hiding
glass sponge skeletons—
closet sea
life in the brinicle
winter casts
invertebrates
blubber markings...
the drop zones
of snow
