half
shaded and half in sun—the August
moon
67
clear
as the pool—the stars above the white
heron
68: August 23rd & 26th 2021 | bottlecap
crackling
under the midday sun, the grasshopper's
wings
65
these
late summer days—long as a dog's
tongue
66: August 16th & 19th 2021 | bottlecap
in
and out of the starlight's windows—
bats
63
from
the solitary tree, a thrush's solitary
cry
64: August 9th & 12th 2021 | bottlecap
deathly
still—the wildflowers the snake slips
between
62: August 5th 2021 | bottlecap
flown
somewhere between my lamp and the moon—a luna
moth
60
briefly—
the houses bright as the late summer's
sun
61: July 29th & August 2nd 2021 | bottlecap
in
the beaded rain—all the colors of a dragonfly's
eyes
59: July 26th 2021 | bottlecap
after
the evening's thunderstorm—lightning
bugs
57
mid-
night—the moon slips through the spider's
web
58: July 19th 2021 | bottlecap
cries
the cicada: autumn, autumn, autumn
soon
56: July 15th 2021 | bottlecap
both
the crow and girl—neither taking
wing
54: July 8th
down-
pour—mountains rise as the clouds
fall
55: July 12th 2021 | bottlecap
over
the new-mown field—the moon's
scythe
53: July 6th 2021 | bottlecap
