As the Crows Fly

birds in flight at sunset

Each evening, one half hour before sunset, crows fly to roost

Copper light by strange alchemy turned silver on the black gloss of their wings

To light the moon or the night gold eyes of owls and bats

And to draw in the hapless moth for a midnight snack

Haiku for October 29th

I enjoy my consciousness
he said, but then died
leaving us to enjoy ours

Yesterday

Dune Grass

yesterday was hot
but today the fog came
prowling
over the dunes, slipping
off the rooftops and
around corners
softening everything

we left doors and windows open
until
even the stuffy corners held the promise
of Fall
