the earth is still in

eight billion little pieces

after the eclipse

crows in the windy matrix the half day moon just is

I tell the houseplants

that it’s a little hazy

second week of spring

on the night bus disorienting window reflections

J. D. Nelson

orange spring sunset

a snack of four clementines

on the bus ride home

something of you

one more silhouette

mingles into fog

leaves drop

each one goes down

with a dance

In the Pasture

I was in my mother's arms, the raindrops pounding on our black umbrella, just above my head. Her left arm around me, holding the umbrella as well. In her right hand she held a rope tied to the head of our cow.

on the rope

connecting us with the cow

rainbow raindrops

the raindrops loud

on his hat

the fragrance

of a moonflower trumpets

a wren's night song

the peaty breath

of the mountain
