Of dawn
Very early, before the birds
the morning moon travels to underworlds
gathering stars and seas of glowing pearls.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Grey
You lingered far too long
with rain clouds, your morning fog
I waited in mists of rain, the days
for sun to warm, to wrap its arms once more
I watched the steam of scented cedars
sat silent under great trees
of a rhododendron forest
kept looking for buds
a hint of flowers
to come.

Bird
I traveled through lush greens
mountains of moss, sinking soft
wild in the woods you went
swooped and flew
singing songs
of blue water
of morning colors
in the light of sun
with dreams of moon
my bird.

I am green in these hills
I wait all spring long
wait through grey rains
too early for summer flowers
I dream of sun fields brightest yellow
my heart a wild field that burns
my lips, parched paper seeking water
desolate in this desert
your lips now merely
a mirage.

I’ve been up north in Skagit County this week birding and have only seen the snow geese way across the bay filling the sky near Anacortes. They did fly across the sky above my cabin in the dark of night and Merlin verified their calls. #birds 🪶

Fern
Fiddlehead fern rooted in earth
warmth of sunshine gives birth to your unfurling
green forest smiles as you reach toward stars
you are smiling like moonlight
shining back through trees.

Of dawn
Very early before the birds
the morning moon travels to underworlds
gathering stars and seas of glowing pearls
when swift, the sweep of darkness goes
the night from black to indigo
blue in layers, the light unravels
then wends the coming day
the dawning sky of gold.
