a cloud resting
on a mountain shows
the water in a waterfall
how to rise

Somewhere beneath the ice,
the ocean practices patience—

And so I curl inward like thoughts that haven’t dared to finish between white and blue..

Time slows enough to hear our planet,
gently whisper.

somewhere
deep in the forest
there is a fallen bird
looking for a fallen tree
the one on which it first learned
how to fly

During a dive last year in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, researchers documented a giant phantom jelly, a deep-sea species rarely seen since it was discovered a little over a century ago. “There was a mixture of excitement and disbelief,” said one marine biologist. trib.al/HfkWfp4

without barking
a dogfish chases a catfish
out of the pond

a bird sleeping
in a frozen lake
escapes
when the midday sun
breaks the ice

after the staff go home
the cleaning woman
waters and talks
to the office plant
in her native tongue

Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus): This 71cm (28in) owl species is native to an Arctic band around the top of our planet from North America across into Eurasia. The males are virtually all white, females have black flecks in their plumage. Lovely photo taken by Donna McKnight in New Jersey, USA. #snowyowl

I wrote a book!

A dark, lyrical noir about grief, predators, and the stories we tell to survive.

A weary investigator.
A haunted vampire.
A city that keeps applauding the wrong monsters.

Some crimes never stay buried.
Some ghosts want justice.

I share a cup of tea

a poem in the woods
I wait for the right bird
to come by and sing
my song
