a field of barley...
how to frame
the wind

between spikes
of a barbed wire
butterfly eggs

dog star...
the unsettling spark
in your eyes

moonrise
the giant catfish
puts up a fight

predawn calm...
the chug of an outboard
across the bay

arctic wind
pouring another shot
of calvados

first morning
pigeons above rooftops
stir the sunlight


i wish you all a happy new year!
