Reeds bowing gently in the wind—
you know exactly how to bend
so as not to break into pieces.

Reflections
Epilogues of improbable epilogues,
held in rebellious reflections
of all that still remains possible.
Sweet daisy
so lovely and unpretentious,
why can’t we all be just like you?
Beautiful and Uncommon
Downpour in the sunshine
A blue-eyed horse
Shooting stars in the city
Watching an eagle fly
Spotting a wolf in the wilderness
The northern lights
A red moon
Finding an iridescent feather
Things I love II (an incomplete list)
morning toast
the words “archery” and “acrid”
black cherries
summer storm clouds
old photographs
the sound of crows
purple roses
the time — 11:11
wooden boxes
postcards
silver bracelets
long good-byes
campfires
dreams of flying
used book stores
windy nights
chocolate
an old pair of jeans
pencil cases
helvetica and garamond
Perspective
Walking along the rail tracks,
reckless empowerment grips me—
if I really wanted to, I could jump a train.
I start to count the ties,
lose track, and head back home.
The current
Barges and mallards,
herons and mayflies,
grey geese and thistles
follow the river against the current.
They make it look so easy.
Change
Even if you stand very still, it will find you.
