take it outside
bird song–
morning round
of medicine
Independence Day . . .
slipping into the lake
for a midnight swim
half-moon night -
picturing a face
I’ve never met
“Independence Day” - New Resonance 3; frogpond XXIII:3
“bird song–” edge of light (RMA 2003); frogpond XXVI:2
“half-moon night-” - WHR (in mem. Rbt. Spiess); Stone Frog

bedroom cricket –
she wants it caught
and brought outside
