in his city home
the grandson misses crickets
I’d ship him a ton
2080
deer taken from porch
by mountain lion— a silent
prayer for the dead
2079
wielding my trusty
P-38 flyswatter
seven kills today
2076
don’t forget they say
time for my summer haircut
long bending willows
2075
mountain lion roams
backyards and gardens
fearless karma of deer
2074
names of his dead
called out on hot, humid nights
the sergeant dreaming
2073
turns off the i-phone
takes plugs from her ears
birds sing their dusk song
2066
deer in the garden
their grace and beauty
ravaging the blooms
2065
crickets tuning up
pitch pipe gives D sharp
an august evening
2058
dry wind in dry grass
sweeping out cigarette butts
dead leaves and bark
2056
carpenters next door
hammering away— slower
than that woodpecker
2054
midsummer moonrise
a hummingbird’s silhouette
flying across
2050
a plum far above
outshines jupiter
in the july sky
2048
living quietly
the morning world overflows
hundreds of songbirds
