Strong and exhausted wings

The Glaucous gull
Archaeopteryx learned to fly somehow
A Belted kingfisher on Depot Brook
A Least Flycatcher holding some iridescence
Luna Moth
How to see a Winter wren
In the Silver Peso Bar
Wish you were here postcard
 A Northern Shrike
Snow Geese
Crows in a down current
A hermit thrush and an avalanche lily
A gulls shadow

Myths and dreams floating through time and veins

Breathing as the water roils

December rain; a writer’s block
Dreaming a night’s swim
A Rocky Mountain Monkeyflower blooming
A still life
Reflection Symmetry
Flood
Sea Salt
Ballard Locks
Coastal Storm
Costal Edge 
An Elk thistle, Jade Cove
Lost at sea
Lighthouse

Inheritance discovered and left adrift

Sign of cattails
Dream Sounds
Making apple butter with Emily Sheapard 
Apple trees returning to the wild
The universe observed
Prodigal
Finding the architect of a prison
Winter Lightning
Black snow
Sublimating the seasons
Brightness
Near the stone cellar hole
April 12
Drifting towards death

Burning images at both ends

Snow Leopard
Arriving home
Dark dreams
Tree and landscape: almost in black and white

A wintry self portrait   
At 13,000 Feet

Odd one out

In the presence of Athena
Winter fog and brittle noises
After three balls and one strike
Mad Trapper of Rat River’s diary: two pages unearthed   (images)
Kepler spelled his name many ways
A fisher pulling at tangled strings
Dreaming of a Portuguese caravel
A poetry of linear frustration   (image)

Found Backstage at the Metropolitan Opera

Boheme
Otello
Madame Butterfly
Waiting for Hoffmann’s 7:30 call
Hansel, Gretel, Golden chanterelles, and Julia

A Translation of the Brazilian poet João Cabral de Melo Neto

An Education from stone   (image)
The sea and the canefield   (image)
The smoke on the sertão
On the death of the rivers
The mobilized vulture
