30 November 2020 (fungus)

turkey tail fungus

we can’t help but speak

in metaphors

29 November 2020 (moss)

microcosms

moss-covered rocks

cobble the stream bed

28 November 2020 (pumpkin)

fog then rain

the tossed pumpkin

slowly softens

27 November 2020 (ice)

the lake making ice

we slide

into winter

26 November 2020 (Thanksgiving)

Thanksgiving sky

the pale potbelly

of the gibbous moon

25 November 2020 (dark)

the depth of the dark

at three a.m. then five

self-reflection

24 November 2020 (poplars)

across the river

a stand of bare poplars . . .

I put on a warmer coat

23 November 2020 (lightning)

November storm

the early dark briefly lit

by lightning

22 November 2020 (snowy owl)

killing frost

a snowy owl quarters

the crimson barrens

Do you see it?

21 November 2020 (red-tail)

a red-tail’s last pass

late light illuminates

the barren hillside

20 November 2020 (hike)

November hike

gauging the distances

of gunfire
