welcoming
the crows’ commentary
home again

departing ferry
our tossed flowers
drift back to shore

over the island
raven’s announcements
north wind rising

vireo peeking out
from a chestnut tree

all day long
back and forth in the fog
the same crows

accordion music
on a rainy day
the women dance

September 24: Full moon

light conversation
stepping out
with the full moon

monarchs take flight
in the morning sun
another day

harvest moon
distant calls of birds
migrating in the dark

fall equinox
two crows perched
in a wind-blown spruce

raven too
greets the morning
island sunrise
