spring daylight lingers
longer through the evening
we talk video games
coasting down hills
our bike lights blinking

These micropoems aka “small stones” are short observational micro-poem-things mostly about nature. They are the result of paying close attention to the world around and writing from those moments.
spring daylight lingers

our bike lights blinking
alphabet—
a barn swallow’s loops
in paper sky
wind chime
the slow movement of clouds
between two trees
someone’s mask
crumpled in the field
pink primrose
the wind tugs
at leafing trees
how they dance
twisting
in the sky’s grip
a new day
traffic cones & trees
in the fog
so many leaves
high in this bare winter tree
cedar waxwings
second dose
winter rages deep
inside me
The greyhounds navigate ice like arthritic giraffes—splay-legged and strange—their speed left indoors today.
icy trees
creaking in the wind
whispered threats
rolling blackouts
how the wind howls
& the candles dance
on the radio Lizzo
feeling good as hell
