In the twilight of this morning
As the bird began her song
I was watering the garden
For the frost had come along
'Mongst the tender shoots of green
Within the fertile soil so sweet
Lay a dozen deep . . .

Heron swoops up
flies home
Beaver comes up for air
Fireflies flicker in time to
peepers and crickets
You lay me down
by the river
on the soft clover grass
Summer's scent in you hair as you
Kiss . . .

So fragile
Yet so strong
Fly away

Salty tears

Bring my . . .

I used to fish this river
Early morning's glow
Revealing misty dragon's breath
O're bank and water's flow
Air now thick with music
Peepers' song give way
Chipmunk, bird crescendos . . .

Driving, I see the patterned contrast of nature and tar
Living shadows o'er roadway
Eyes delight with each small bramble triumphant and alive
Beside highway of concrete and fume
Stoplight swings on . . .

I surprised five deer last night...
Walking up the road, then left and onto my little lane

They calmed and walked slowly,
Warily, . . .

Fresh dark pellets
moist like chocolate
hoof prints
still bent weeds
Dappled sunshine
wet ground cover
Soft pine needle carpet
Cone from last season
Old dead log feeding forest floor
Glorious field . . .

This afternoon I don my mud boots and a hoodie, making for the reservoir.
Fishermen grin their greetings and I nod back, smiling.
Sun shines bright upon the water and, amazingly, I feel its warmth through . . .

Early December in Northeast Ohio.....time to cull the deer herds.
Each community has its own way of dealinig with this.
Sharpshooters have been the standard, but sometimes folks get shot in their own backyards......OOPS! . . .
