Hiding in shadows
and deep in the dry grasses,
no longer extinct.

PARTNERS

To circumnavigate
the granite entwined as one
to bathe in sunshine.

On reconnaissance to ostensibly assess the native feed in order to decide when we will begin weaning our calves, Robbin and I spent a delightful day in Greasy yesterday. With more grass than cattle, it wasn’t the amount of grass, but its maturity we were judging between several camera stops and a quick snack with a clan of cows and calves. Though some wildflowers have been conspicuously absent this spring, like popcorn flowers, most have flourished while competing with the tall grass.

 

ITHURIEL’S SPEAR

Once touched, all made clear
by the angel’s showered jewels
shimmering with truth.

 

HANGOVER

Slow to leave after
a night rain, the clouds still want
to party at dawn.

 

Full Worm Moon

The castings of worms
upon damp earth come alive
with old flesh and bones.

So many vying
for your attention, easy
to go unnoticed.

SET IN STONE

Not much time to learn
to pour and finish concrete
before it’s over.

Cold awakening
to wide and generous gods
living in heaven.
